Undersized 2-Ton AC Struggling to Cool a Raleigh Townhome

Raleigh · October 2026 · Nick & Mario · From our service records

Undersized 2-Ton AC Struggling to Cool a Raleigh Townhome

What the customer reported

A Raleigh townhome in the 27617 area had persistent cooling and indoor humidity concerns, and a follow-up re-diagnosis was requested after an earlier visit.

What we found and did

Mario found that a proper load calculation called for approximately 2.3 tons (a 2.5-ton system), while the home was served by an undersized 2-ton unit. He re-diagnosed the system and confirmed the same design and installation flams remain, including the registers, the flex run 90s, and no bypass damper on the zoned system. He also noted the system was slightly overcharged (not causing operational issues) and that the attic tent installation was suboptimal and could benefit from a new attic tent. His recommendation was to replace the unit with a 2.5-ton system and relocate the air handler to the attic.

Result

The system was heating and cooling properly during the follow-up visit, and the earlier visit measured a 20-degree temperature split.

Master Bedroom Not Getting Enough Airflow in Raleigh

Raleigh · October 2026 · Bernard & Nick · From our service records

What the customer reported

The homeowner asked for a repair on a garage door sensor, a check of the airflow in the master bedroom, and an adjustment to the water pressure.

What we found and did

Nick and Bernard found a 10 inch run that runs off the system into a knee wall access point with two runs off of it, both in the open position. They believe the run that supplies the master bedroom area runs under the floor around the top half of the third floor, potentially in a wall chase that is currently not accessible. They replaced the garage door safety sensors on the right side garage door and adjusted the water pressure to approximately 70 psi. Further airflow evaluation will need items moved on the third floor to open the chase, and the unit was blocked by boxes in the mechanical room, so the homeowner will need to move them before the fan speed taps can be checked.

Mold-Like Growth on Ceiling Vents in Raleigh Home

Mold-Like Growth on Ceiling Vents in Raleigh Home

What the customer reported

A Raleigh homeowner in the 27607 area reported growth on a ceiling supply register. The dispatcher notes also mention a lot of condensation near the vents and molds building up.

What we found and did

Autumn found growth on the register, likely caused by inadequate sealing around the supply boot, which allowed warm air to mix with conditioned air and potentially contribute to condensation. She sealed the supply boot to address the air leakage. She also reconnected two supply runs that had become detached from the system.

House Stays Humid After New HVAC System in Raleigh

House Stays Humid After New HVAC System in Raleigh

What the customer reported

A Raleigh homeowner in the 27612 area reported a significant amount of humidity and moisture throughout the house, even after another company had replaced her system and duct work. She was using dehumidifiers and having to dump them multiple times a day.

What we found and did

Jeorell and Manny went into the crawl space and checked all of the ductwork, finding that some of the runs need to be replaced, some need to be resealed, and others are ok. The boots will also need to be sealed, and the homeowner plans to buy new registers that she would like the team to install. They walked her through all of their findings and let her know a quote would be sent after reviewing everything with the office.

What Is the Growth on Vents and Ducts in a Raleigh Apartment?

What Is the Growth on Vents and Ducts in a Raleigh Apartment?

What the customer reported

The request was for an audit of an air handler that was "only blowing fan," along with concerns about potential biological growth within the HVAC system and throughout the apartment.

What we found and did

Bernard found the system off, and Maintenance said the resident generally does not like to operate the air-conditioning. He called for cooling and verified proper system operation, with adequate airflow and condensate draining properly. He documented visible biological growth-like material in portions of the accessible air handler and ductwork, and on surfaces throughout the apartment such as the kitchen supply vent, the bathroom exhaust fan and clothing in the master closet. He also confirmed the bathroom exhaust fan was operating with both flaps opening properly, and noted that moisture management matters because running only the fan does not remove humidity the way cooling mode does.

Result

When placed into a call for cooling, the system was operational with adequate airflow and produced condensate that drained properly.

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.

FAQ

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 written report covers the condition of each part of your system and what's likely to need attention next, 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.
