Jeorell
April 2026
A Rolesville homeowner reported that their upstairs unit, over 10 years old, was blowing air but not cooling, a problem that started that day. There was no error message on the thermostat.
Jeorell found that the indoor unit came on and was blowing, and at the condenser the fan was running but the compressor was not, with the amp draw reading 0 amps and the capacitor reading 0.54. With the homeowners' permission, he replaced the capacitor and the system started to cool. He then checked pressures and took a temp split to confirm operation.
The system was cooling at the time of departure.
Jeorell
March 2026
A Rolesville homeowner reported no AC, saying the system doesn't do anything and doesn't cool.
Jeorell found the outdoor system was not running and the refrigerant was completely empty, reading 0 psi, with a leak search revealing multiple hits at and around the indoor coil. He made a call for cool at all 3 thermostats, confirmed the indoor unit in the bathroom furnace location was on and blowing, then checked pressures outside and performed the leak search. He reviewed the findings with the homeowner, who requested both a repair quote and a system replacement quote, noting the coil repair could potentially be a 2 tech job due to where the coil is and how it was installed.

For standard AC repairs in the Apex, Cary, Raleigh, and surrounding areas, we typically offer same-day or next-day service. During peak summer months (June-August), demand is highest, so we recommend calling early in the day. Emergency repairs are prioritized and dispatched as quickly as possible.
Repair costs depend on the specific problem and parts needed. A capacitor replacement might run $150-$300, while a compressor replacement can range from $1,500-$2,500+. We charge a diagnostic fee to identify the problem, then provide a flat-rate repair quote before proceeding. The diagnostic fee is waived if you approve the repair.
As a general guideline, if a repair costs more than 50% of a new system and your equipment is over 10 years old, replacement often makes more financial sense. We'll give you an honest assessment factoring in your system's age, repair history, efficiency, and the cost of the specific repair needed.
This is extremely common. Peak heat days push your system to maximum capacity for extended periods. Components like capacitors, compressors, and fan motors that are already weakened by wear are most likely to fail under this extreme stress, similar to how a worn tire is most likely to blow out on a long highway drive.
