Travis, Mario & Aaron
May 2026
A Wake Forest homeowner reported two units needing a check: the small one upstairs was not working at all, and the bigger one was turning on but not cooling downstairs.
Travis found the upstairs system had no Freon and the first floor system was super low on Freon, with a leak somewhere on both. The homeowner had paid for Freon for a couple of years and it kept leaking out. Travis spoke with the homeowner, who said she was ready to replace both units, which are 23 years old.
Aaron & Dexter
April 2026
A Wake Forest homeowner reported their AC was not cooling, blowing air but not cold air. The unit was approximately 25 years old.
Aaron and Dexter found that the wires for the compressor were burned up, the control board in the outdoor unit was burned up, and the equipment was low on R22 refrigerant and had a leak. After they diagnosed these issues, the homeowner decided to replace the system, and the team arranged to file the claim with the home warranty company on the homeowner's behalf.

Most residential AC installations are completed in a single day, typically 6-10 hours. If significant ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or a complete system changeout (indoor and outdoor units) is required, the project may extend to two days.
For the Raleigh-Durham area, we generally recommend 16 SEER2 or higher. The hot, humid Triangle summers mean your AC runs extensively, so higher-efficiency systems pay for themselves faster here than in milder climates. We'll show you a cost-benefit comparison for different efficiency levels.
Not always, but it's often recommended. Your indoor coil and blower are part of the heating system, and mismatched components reduce efficiency and can void warranties. We'll evaluate your existing equipment and give you honest advice on what actually needs replacing.
We install and service all major brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and Amana. We'll recommend the best option based on your budget, efficiency goals, and the specific needs of your home rather than pushing any single brand.
