Mario and Manny worked on a heat pump in the 27591 area over two visits. On the first visit, the faulty TXV was removed after the system was fully recovered, and a new TXV and filter drier were installed. The system was pressure tested at 200 PSI for 20 minutes, pulled down to 550 microns, and recharged with 9.5 lbs of R-410A. On the second visit, the faulty compressor was removed and a new filter drier installed, followed by another 200 PSI pressure test for 20 minutes, a vacuum pull down to 480 microns, and a recharge of 9.5 lbs of R-410A.
Operational testing was completed and the unit is now cooling properly and functioning within its designed specifications.

A Wendell property reported the AC had no cool. The unit was less than 2 years old.
Mario and Manny found the outdoor heat pump in a high-pressure lockout after confirming a call for cooling at both thermostats. They cleared the fault and noticed refrigerant pressures dropping, so they went to inspect the air handler in the attic. On the way, the blower motor cycled on and off intermittently before remaining on, and a thorough inspection of all associated wiring showed no defects or loose connections. The irregular operation may have been caused by an external power surge or, more likely, an intermittent failure within the blower motor or control board, and estimates for the blower motor and control switches will be provided as a proactive measure.
Pressures tested stable and the system cooled properly, but the fault could not be replicated during the visit.

Yes, heat pumps work excellently in North Carolina's mild winters. Modern heat pumps operate efficiently down to 25-30°F, which covers most Triangle winter days. For the occasional cold snap, heat pumps include auxiliary heating. Many Apex and Cary homeowners use heat pumps as their primary heating and cooling system year-round.
A furnace burns fuel (gas or oil) to generate heat, while a heat pump transfers heat from outside air into your home using electricity. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one system, are more energy-efficient in mild climates, and have lower operating costs. Furnaces heat faster in extreme cold but cost more to run.
Heat pump installation in the Apex area typically ranges from $4,500 to $12,000, depending on system size, efficiency rating (SEER/HSPF), and installation complexity. While the upfront cost is higher than a furnace alone, a heat pump replaces both your furnace and AC. Many homeowners see 30-50% savings on heating costs.
