Humidity Issues Persist Despite New Ductwork in Raleigh
What the customer reported
A homeowner in Raleigh was experiencing significant humidity and moisture throughout the house, requiring frequent use of dehumidifiers.
What we found and did
Jeorell and Manny found that some ductwork runs needed replacement, while others required resealing. Additionally, the boots needed sealing, and new registers were to be installed. The technicians communicated their findings to the homeowner, explaining the need for ductwork replacement and resealing. They planned to provide a detailed quote after consulting with Tim to ensure all issues were addressed.
Pro Tip
If you're constantly emptying dehumidifiers, it might indicate ductwork issues. Consider having your ducts inspected and sealed properly to reduce indoor humidity and improve comfort.

Why Is My Upstairs AC Not Cooling in Raleigh?
What the customer reported
A homeowner in Raleigh was experiencing cooling issues with their upstairs unit, which was not maintaining the desired temperature.
What we found and did
Jeorell found that the thermostat was satisfied at 72°, and upon checking, the pressures were in the normal range with no visible issues. Jeorell inspected the system, ensuring the SS two was dry and the drain line was clear. He checked the outdoor unit pressures and confirmed they were within normal parameters. No immediate issues were found during the diagnostic.
Result
The system was cooling properly at the time of departure.
Pro Tip
If your upstairs AC isn't cooling effectively, check if the thermostat is reaching its set temperature. A satisfied thermostat might indicate an issue elsewhere, such as airflow restriction or insulation problems.
Why quality system inspections 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.

System Inspections in Raleigh: questions answered
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Raleigh.
How often should I have my HVAC system inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once per year. Ideally, have your heating system checked in fall and your cooling system checked in spring, before each season of heavy use.
What is the difference between an inspection and a tune-up?
An inspection is a diagnostic evaluation that identifies problems and rates system health. A tune-up includes the inspection plus hands-on maintenance like cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting components. We offer both.
Can an inspection help me decide whether to repair or replace my system?
Yes. Our inspection report includes an efficiency rating and remaining useful life estimate, giving you the data you need to make an informed repair-vs-replace decision.
Do you inspect ductwork as part of a system inspection?
Yes. We measure static pressure, check accessible duct connections for leaks, and evaluate overall duct design. For a full duct assessment, we also offer dedicated ductwork inspections with airflow testing.
Will the inspection disrupt my home?
No. A standard HVAC inspection is non-invasive and typically completed in 60 to 90 minutes. We work cleanly and will not disassemble anything without discussing it with you first.
