Cooling Failed on a 100° Day in Wendell
The Problem
The homeowner noticed that their AC was not cooling the house, which was particularly concerning with children at home on a hot day.
What We Found
Mario identified a major leak from the outdoor TXV, which was causing the unit to lose its cooling efficiency.
The Fix
Mario discussed the issue with Noah, the homeowner, who had already identified the leak location. Due to the late hour, Mario arranged to send an estimate for the necessary repairs the following day.
The Result
The homeowner was informed about the issue and prepared to receive an estimate for the repair work.
Pro Tip
If your AC suddenly stops cooling, check for visible signs of leaks around the outdoor unit. Addressing leaks early can prevent more costly repairs down the line.

Why Won't My AC Cool Upstairs in Wendell?
The Problem
The homeowner noticed that the upstairs unit was not cooling properly, leaving the second floor uncomfortably warm.
What We Found
Mario found that the Y wire for the second floor was slightly loose, causing an intermittent signal between the zone board and the zone damper.
The Fix
Mario corrected the loose wiring and tested the operations of the unit. He ensured that the zone board and damper motors were functioning correctly, which resolved the cooling issue.
The Result
The system was cooling properly after the repair, restoring comfort to the upstairs area.
Pro Tip
If your upstairs AC isn't cooling, check the thermostat wiring for loose connections. A simple fix can often restore proper cooling and prevent further issues.

Why Won't My AC Fan Turn Off in Wendell?
The Problem
A Wendell homeowner noticed that their AC fan was running continuously, even when the thermostat was turned off.
What We Found
Tay discovered that the green wire was receiving 24 volts, which was causing the fan to run non-stop.
The Fix
Tay and Dexter moved the green wire to the brown terminal, which corrected the wiring issue and allowed the system to function properly.
The Result
The AC system began operating correctly, with the fan shutting off as expected.
Pro Tip
If your AC fan won't turn off, it could be a wiring issue. Check for voltage on the green wire when the thermostat is off — it should not have power.

Why Is My AC Blowing Warm Air in Wendell?
The Problem
A Wendell homeowner noticed their air conditioning unit was blowing warm air instead of cooling the house.
What We Found
Dexter found that the thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) was malfunctioning, preventing the refrigerant from properly cooling the air.
The Fix
Dexter replaced the faulty TXV and installed a new liquid line filter drier. He then evacuated the system to remove any air and moisture, and recharged it with R-410A refrigerant. Finally, he tested the system to ensure it was operating correctly.
The Result
The AC unit was restored to proper function, efficiently cooling the home again.
Pro Tip
If your AC starts blowing warm air, it might be a sign of a failing TXV. Addressing it early can prevent more costly repairs down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair in Wendell
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Wendell
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.
