Bernard, Manny & Travis
July 2026
A Wendell homeowner noticed that their AC was running but not cooling the home effectively.
Bernard and Manny found that the thermostat was programmed for a conventional system instead of a heat pump, and the wiring was not set up correctly for cooling.
They corrected the thermostat programming to match the heat pump system and properly wired the speed taps for cooling. At the condenser, they removed the outdoor thermostat from the circuit to ensure proper operation and verified a 22° temperature split.
The system was restored to normal operation, cooling the home effectively.
If your AC is blowing warm air, check the thermostat settings to ensure it's programmed correctly for your system type. Incorrect settings can prevent proper cooling.
Travis, Aaron & Dexter
July 2026
The homeowner noticed water leaking from two mini split units located near the elevator lobbies.
Travis and Aaron discovered that the mini splits were not properly sealed, allowing condensation to escape and leak onto the floor.
Travis and Aaron rescheduled the job to ensure adequate manpower. They then resealed the units, ensuring a tight fit to prevent future leaks. Dexter assisted by testing the units to confirm that the sealing was effective and no further leaks occurred.
The mini splits were restored to proper working condition with no more leaks.
If your mini split is leaking water, it might be due to improper sealing. Make sure the unit is tightly sealed to prevent condensation from escaping, which can cause leaks and potential water damage.
Jeorell
July 2026
The homeowner noticed that their AC was not cooling properly.
Jeorell discovered that the coil in the attic was frozen, causing the system to malfunction.
Jeorell thawed the frozen coil with permission from the homeowner. After the coil was thawed, he made a call for cool and rechecked the pressures, which normalized. He also took a temperature split reading, confirming a 22.5° split.
The system was cooling effectively by the time Jeorell left.
If your AC coil freezes, it might be due to low refrigerant or airflow issues. Keep air filters clean and ensure vents are unobstructed to prevent freezing.
Dexter, Manny & Mario
July 2026
A homeowner in Wendell noticed water pooling near the elevator lobbies due to leaking mini splits.
Dexter found that the drain pipes and pumps of the mini splits were clogged, causing water to back up and leak.
Dexter, along with Manny and Mario, carefully removed the mini splits and thoroughly cleaned the drain pipes and pumps to ensure proper water flow. They reinstalled the units and tested them to confirm the issue was resolved.
The mini splits were functioning properly with no further leaks, ensuring the area remained dry and safe.
If you notice water pooling around your mini split, check the drain pipe for clogs. Regular cleaning can prevent leaks and extend your system's life.
Great service! Called in the afternoon after my AC stopped working. Friendly and very competent service person, Mario, fixed it the very next morning. He also installed a surge protector. I'm extremely satisfied!

Read articleWendell Falls is one of eastern Wake County largest master-planned communities, and some homes have AC systems sized based on square footage alone rather than proper Manual J calculations, leading to poor humidity control and uneven cooling.
Homes in Farmington Woods, Saddlewood, and Wendell Oaks built between 1995-2012 have original AC systems that are 12-25 years old, with declining efficiency and increasing repair frequency.
Older Wendell homes in Farmington Woods may still have AC systems running on R-22 refrigerant, which has been fully phased out. Repair costs for these systems are now three to four times what they were five years ago.
Wendell humid summers mean AC systems must handle significant moisture removal. Oversized or aging systems that short-cycle fail to adequately dehumidify, leaving homes feeling clammy even when the thermostat reads a comfortable temperature.
More ways we can help in Wendell.
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Wendell.
The most common issue in Wendell Falls is AC systems that short-cycle due to oversizing, leaving homes humid even when cool. Some builders size based on square footage rather than Manual J calculations. We also see condensate drain issues in the humid climate. A system evaluation can identify whether your AC is properly matched to your home.
If your Wendell home in Farmington Woods or Saddlewood has an AC unit over 12 years old, a replacement evaluation makes sense. Systems using R-22 refrigerant should be replaced sooner since repair costs are now prohibitively expensive. A new high-efficiency system can cut cooling costs by 30-40%.
Duke Energy Progress offers efficiency rebates for high-SEER AC installations, and federal tax credits apply to qualifying Energy Star systems. Wendell homeowners replacing older systems can save $500-$2,000 in combined incentives. We process all rebate paperwork for you.
AC replacement in Wendell ranges from $4,500 to $9,000 depending on system size and efficiency level. Larger Wendell Falls homes may require higher-capacity equipment. We provide free in-home estimates with clear, upfront pricing and flexible financing.
