Why Is My Thermostat Blank in Selma?
The Problem
The homeowners were experiencing issues with their AC system not cooling, and the thermostat display was blank.
What We Found

The Fix
Jeorell back flushed the drain line and removed the buildup, allowing the system to operate properly. After ensuring the AC was cooling effectively, he discussed and signed a membership agreement with the homeowners.
The Result
The AC system was restored to normal operation, providing cooling once again.

FAQ
AC Repair in Selma: questions answered
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Selma.
How quickly can you get to my home for an AC repair?
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.
How much does an AC repair cost?
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.
Is it worth repairing my older AC system?
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.
Why did my AC stop working on the hottest day?
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.
