5-Ton Heat Pump Not Cooling in Raleigh's 27616 Area

The Problem

The homeowner noticed their heat pump was not cooling the home effectively, leaving the indoor temperature uncomfortably high.

What We Found

Mario discovered that the reversing valve and the TXV were faulty, which was preventing the heat pump from operating correctly.

The Fix

Mario recovered all the refrigerant from the system and replaced the faulty reversing valve and TXV. He also brazed in a new filter dryer. After cleaning the indoor unit and confirming the piston size, he pressure-tested the system, blew it out with nitrogen, and pulled a vacuum. Finally, he recharged the system with 7.5 lbs of R-410A and restored power.

The Result

The heat pump was confirmed to be cooling properly after the repairs, ensuring the home was comfortable once again.

Pro Tip

If your heat pump isn't cooling, it might be due to a faulty reversing valve or TXV. These components are crucial for proper operation, so addressing issues early can prevent larger, more costly repairs.

Geothermal Unit Stopped Cooling in Raleigh Crawlspace

The Problem

The homeowner noticed that their geothermal unit was no longer providing cool air, resulting in discomfort during the hot summer day.

What We Found

Mario found that the fan motor in the geothermal unit was faulty, preventing the system from cooling effectively.

The Fix

Mario accessed the crawl space to remove the faulty fan motor. Initially, he attempted to install a universal motor, but due to plug incompatibility, the homeowner opted to order an OEM part. Once the OEM blower motor arrived, Mario installed it and tested the unit to ensure it was operating properly.

The Result

The system is now cooling properly, restoring comfort to the home.

Pro Tip

If your geothermal unit stops cooling, it might be a faulty fan motor. Opt for OEM parts when replacements are necessary to ensure compatibility and avoid extended downtime.

The Problem

A homeowner in Raleigh's 27608 area noticed their heat pump was not functioning properly, leading to discomfort during the warm summer day.

What We Found

Aaron discovered that the issue was due to a malfunctioning firefly board and a faulty R32 sensor.

The Fix

Aaron replaced the defective firefly board and the R32 sensor. After the replacements, he tested the system to ensure it was operating correctly.

The Result

The heat pump was restored to full functionality, providing the homeowner with reliable cooling once again.

Pro Tip

A faulty R32 sensor can cause your heat pump to malfunction. If your system starts acting up, consider checking the sensors for any issues before they lead to bigger problems.

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.

Local conditions

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.
