Manny & Travis
June 2026
The homeowner noticed that the air conditioning system was not cooling effectively during a particularly hot day.
Manny found that the system's capacitor was low, which could lead to unexpected cooling failures during high-demand periods. Additionally, the drain line was in poor condition, though it was still functioning.
Manny and Travis conducted a thorough maintenance check on the cooling system. They advised the homeowner to monitor the capacitor closely, as it could lead to the system failing to cool properly. While a new drain line was recommended, the homeowner opted to keep the existing one since it was still operational despite its condition.
The air conditioning system continued to operate, but with a warning to keep an eye on the capacitor for future issues.
A low capacitor can lead to unexpected cooling failures. If your AC struggles on hot days, have a technician check the capacitor before it leads to bigger issues.

During a routine maintenance visit, Aaron discussed options with the homeowner to enhance their cooling system's efficiency and air quality. He provided an estimate for installing a soft start to reduce strain during system start-up and a UV bulb for improved air purification. These upgrades were designed to boost performance and extend the system's longevity.
The homeowner received a cost-effective plan for long-term reliability and improved indoor air quality.
Consider installing a UV bulb in your HVAC system to improve indoor air quality and reduce allergens.
Got a PRV valve, new main shutoff, and new toilet shutoff. Chris is great. Fast and good quality work. Plan on using Element for all future plumbing repairs.

Travis is a great guy. He educated me on maintenance and he was very pleasant and kind and you can tell the man has a big heart. I’m very very happy and very, very glad to have met him and also very glad to not be in a 93° house anymore.

Fantastic experience with Element today! Communication was fantastic from start to finish. We booked an appointment for a HVAC inspection/tune up. Cost was very reasonable and was able to get someone out the same week. Before we even booked the appointment, the expectations were set of what the inspection services would include. The day of the appointment we received a text with a picture of our service technician, Dexter Davis. What really impressed me was not only did we get a picture, but the text included a little bit of his professional background and a bit about him personally. Dexter gave us a call to let us know he was on his way out. Everything about my interaction with him was awesome. After he completed his inspection, he showed me pictures of his findings and took the time to explain what they meant and how it could impact the health of our system. He answered all of my questions- had a wealth of knowledge and was realistic on which items needed to be addressed sooner rather than later. I did not feel pressured to buy anything on the spot. He did explain how I could save on repairs by becoming a member and went over benefits of the plan. We received the quote with pictures shortly after he left. I know this is a long review- but I wanted to make sure that I gave Dexter some shout outs for service, professionalism and knowledge. We will do more business with Element!

Shocked by your latest heating bill? Discover the most common reasons for skyrocketing energy costs in Apex and Cary, NC—and simple solutions to lower your bills this winter.
Read articleMany Sanford homes, particularly in established neighborhoods like Jonesboro Heights and Westside, have HVAC systems that have gone years without professional maintenance, leading to reduced efficiency, poor air quality, and premature system failure.
Lee County's heavy spring pollen season combined with red clay dust from construction along the US-1 corridor rapidly clogs filters and coats system components, requiring more frequent maintenance than many homeowners realize.
Ductwork in the unconditioned crawl spaces common under Sanford homes deteriorates over time, developing leaks, sagging connections, and moisture damage that silently waste energy and reduce system performance.
More ways we can help in Sanford.
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Sanford.
In the Sanford area, we recommend checking filters monthly and replacing them every 1-3 months depending on the filter type. During spring pollen season and dusty summer months, monthly replacement may be necessary, especially for homes near unpaved roads or active construction along the US-1 corridor.
Our maintenance visits include checking refrigerant levels, cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, inspecting ductwork for leaks, testing electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, checking the thermostat calibration, and performing a safety inspection. We also assess overall system condition and alert you to potential issues.
Absolutely. Older Sanford homes with aging systems benefit most from regular maintenance, which catches small problems early, maintains efficiency, and extends system life. Our maintenance plan members also receive priority scheduling during peak season and discounts on repairs.
