Thermostat Stuck on a September Day in Raleigh

What the customer reported

The homeowner experienced an issue where the furnace blower was running continuously, even though the system was not calling for heating or cooling.

What we found and did

Jeorell found that the control board was sending voltage despite no call for cooling, indicating a defect in the board. Jeorell unwired the low voltage, and after removing the cool, common, and heat plugs, the blower stopped. It was determined that a new control board would need to be ordered and replaced under warranty.

Result

The blower issue was temporarily resolved, and a new board will be installed to ensure proper operation.

Pro Tip

If your furnace blower runs non-stop, it could be a sign of a faulty control board. Address it quickly to prevent further system issues and avoid unexpected energy costs.

What Caused My Furnace to Trip in Raleigh's 27612 Area?

What the customer reported

The homeowner was concerned about the efficiency of their heating system before the winter season.

What we found and did

Jeorell found that the capacitor for the blower was almost out of specification, which could impact the furnace's performance. Jeorell performed a comprehensive maintenance check, inspecting the thermostat, filters, and furnace components, including the ductwork, refrigeration lines, and blower wheel. He cleaned the flame sensor, checked the heat exchanger, and adjusted gas pressures to manufacturer specifications.

Result

The heating system was thoroughly maintained and is now prepared for efficient performance in the upcoming colder months.

Pro Tip

If your furnace's blower capacitor is nearing the end of its lifespan, it can cause the system to run inefficiently. Consider having it checked and replaced during routine maintenance to prevent unexpected breakdowns.

What Caused My Heat Pump to Trip the Breaker in Raleigh?

What the customer reported

A Raleigh homeowner experienced their heat pump repeatedly tripping the breaker, causing it to shut off unexpectedly.

What we found and did

Mario found that the compressor was causing the breaker to trip. Mario performed a diagnostic on the unit and confirmed the issue with the compressor. Due to the supply house being closed, he was unable to provide an estimate for the compressor replacement at that time. However, he gathered information to provide estimates for a new 2-ton heat pump system, including details about the air handler in the crawlspace and the outdoor heat pump.

Pro Tip

If your heat pump trips the breaker, it could indicate a compressor issue. Avoid resetting the breaker repeatedly as it can cause further damage. Instead, call a technician to diagnose the problem.

Why Is My Third Floor Warmer Than the Second in Raleigh?

What the customer reported

The homeowner noticed that the third floor was warmer than the second floor.

What we found and did

Mario and Dexter found the issue was related to the attic door being open, affecting airflow. Mario and Dexter performed a comprehensive heating maintenance, including checking the thermostat operations, inspecting the ductwork, and cleaning components like the flame sensor and spark igniter. They also rehung the attic door to improve airflow and advised the homeowner on future upgrades like a fan motor-powered register.

Result

The homeowner experienced improved airflow and temperature regulation after the attic door was rehung.

Pro Tip

If your third floor feels warmer, check if doors to attics or storage areas are closed properly. Open doors can disrupt airflow, causing uneven temperatures.

Element has been so great to work with! They helped us get a whole new HVAC/gas pack system installed on our building and have been great with regular maintenance and upkeep. Very responsive, great customer service, always on time and sometimes can arrive earlier than originally expected which is great. Every technician we have worked with has been so polite and explained issues/solutions/work in detail making it easy to understand what is needed and what to expect. Would definitely recommend Element for all your HVAC needs!

I chose Element Service Group because they're authorized to service Trane equipment and they've done a great job of keeping our furnace and A/C equipment in tip top shape. After a failure of one of our units, another service provider took that as a moment to convince us to replace the unit. Element stood by the equipment and made only minor repairs to add years of life. Their service personnel are honest and care about the customer. Years later we trusted them to replace that system with an independent Goodman furnace/AC system instead of the pack unit the builder installed, which will solve many of the problems we encountered.

Connor found a dangerous crack in our furnace heat exchanger while doing a routine check-up. The part came in early, and he was here the next day. He and his associate were extremely respectful of our house and dog. They installed the new part and tested everything thoroughly before they left. We could not ask for better service.

Why quality heating matters in Raleigh

Extreme Summer Heat

Raleigh's hot, humid summers with temperatures often reaching 95°F+ put tremendous stress on HVAC systems. Systems must be properly maintained and sized to handle the extended cooling season from May through September.

Diverse Buildings

The city's diverse neighborhoods from downtown high-rises to suburban homes to historic properties each have unique HVAC needs. Our technicians are experienced with all building types and their specific challenges.

Building Permits

Wake County building codes and city permits have specific requirements for HVAC installations and replacements. We handle all permitting to ensure your system meets local compliance standards.

Urban Heat Island

Urban heat island effects in downtown Raleigh can increase cooling demands by 5-10 degrees compared to surrounding areas. This requires careful system sizing and efficient equipment selection.

Diagnostics

Common heating issues in Raleigh

Wide Range of Heating System Ages

Raleigh's established neighborhoods have heating systems spanning every generation of technology, from low-efficiency furnaces to early-generation heat pumps, each with different upgrade paths.

Gas vs. Electric Infrastructure Varies by Area

Raleigh neighborhoods differ significantly in natural gas availability, affecting whether homeowners should pursue gas furnaces, all-electric heat pumps, or dual-fuel systems.

Older Insulation Standards

Homes in Raleigh's Inside-the-Beltline neighborhoods were built to 1970s-1990s insulation standards, requiring heating systems to work harder than modern code-built homes.

Multi-Story Heating Imbalances

Many Raleigh homes with multiple stories experience significant temperature differences between floors, as single-zone heating systems can't properly balance warm air that naturally rises.

FAQ

Heating in Raleigh: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Raleigh.

What heating system is best for my Raleigh home?

The best system depends on your home's age, gas availability, and insulation. Older ITB homes with gas lines often do best with high-efficiency gas furnaces or dual-fuel systems. Newer suburban homes benefit most from variable-speed heat pumps. We evaluate your specific situation to recommend the right fit.

How much does heating system replacement cost in Raleigh?

Heating system replacement in Raleigh ranges from $4,000-$10,000 depending on system type, efficiency level, and any required ductwork modifications. Heat pump replacements average $5,000-$8,000 for most Raleigh homes. We provide free in-home estimates with transparent pricing.

Can I convert my Raleigh home from oil or propane to a heat pump?

Absolutely. Several Raleigh neighborhoods still have homes on oil or propane heat. Converting to a modern heat pump eliminates fuel delivery hassles and typically reduces annual heating costs. We handle the full conversion including removing old equipment.

What rebates are available for Raleigh heating upgrades?

Duke Energy Progress offers rebates for heat pump installations, and federal tax credits provide up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pump systems. Raleigh homeowners converting from fossil fuels to heat pumps may qualify for additional incentives under current energy programs.
