Why Is My Heat Pump Not Cooling in Wendell?
The Problem
A homeowner in Wendell noticed their heat pump was running but not cooling the house effectively.
What We Found
Mario determined that the issue was due to a faulty TXV and compressor, which were preventing the system from operating efficiently.
The Fix
Mario safely disconnected the power and removed the top panel to access the TXV and compressor. He replaced the faulty TXV and installed a new filter drier. After pressure testing and vacuuming the system, he recharged it with 9.5 lbs of R-410A refrigerant. Mario then replaced the faulty compressor, ensuring the system was properly sealed and recharged.
The Result
The heat pump was restored to proper functionality, effectively cooling the home again.
Pro Tip
A faulty TXV can cause your heat pump to blow warm air. If you notice this, contact a professional to check the TXV and refrigerant levels before it leads to more costly repairs.

Cooling Failed on a Spring Day in Wendell
The Problem
The homeowner experienced a lack of cooling from their AC unit.
What We Found
Mario found the outdoor heat pump in a high-pressure lockout and noted dropping refrigerant pressures.
The Fix
Mario cleared the fault in the heat pump and inspected the air handler in the attic. Despite intermittent cycling of the blower motor, no defects were found in the wiring. Subsequent tests showed stable pressures and proper cooling operation, but potential intermittent failures were identified.
The Result
The system resumed normal cooling operation, but the homeowner was advised to monitor it closely.
Pro Tip
If your blower motor cycles on and off unexpectedly, it might indicate an intermittent failure. Keep an eye on it and consider scheduling a diagnostic check to prevent future issues.

Common Heating Issues in Wendell
Heat Pump Backup Heat Running Excessively
Wendell homes using standard heat pumps see backup electric heat strips engaging during cold snaps below 35 degrees, causing Duke Energy bills to spike by $50-100 during January and February.
Aging Furnaces in Farmington Woods
Farmington Woods has some of Wendell oldest homes, with gas furnaces reaching 25+ years old. At this age, heat exchanger cracks become a carbon monoxide safety risk that requires immediate attention.
Insufficient Insulation in Older Homes
Older Wendell homes often have settled or inadequate attic insulation that forces heating systems to work harder, increasing energy costs and wear on equipment during winter months.
Cold Spots in Bonus Rooms and Additions
Many Wendell homes have bonus rooms over garages or room additions that were not properly integrated into the original heating system, creating uncomfortable cold spots in winter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heating in Wendell
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Wendell
What heating system works best for Wendell homes?
For most Wendell homes, a heat pump system handles the majority of winter days efficiently. For homes with natural gas access, dual-fuel systems that switch to gas during extreme cold offer the lowest operating costs. Newer Wendell Falls homes are increasingly choosing cold-climate heat pumps that maintain efficiency down to much lower temperatures.
Why does my Wendell heating bill spike in January?
If you have a heat pump, the backup electric heat strips that engage below 35 degrees use 3-5 times more electricity. For a typical Wendell home, this can add $50-100 to your January and February Duke Energy bills. A dual-fuel or cold-climate heat pump upgrade addresses this issue.
How much does heating system replacement cost in Wendell?
A gas furnace replacement in Wendell costs $3,500-$7,000, while a complete heat pump system runs $5,500-$13,000. Dual-fuel systems that combine both are $7,000-$15,000. We provide free in-home evaluations to recommend the most cost-effective option for your Wendell home.
Is my old Wendell furnace a safety risk?
Gas furnaces over 20 years old in Wendell homes should be inspected annually for heat exchanger cracks, which can leak carbon monoxide. If your Farmington Woods or older Wendell home has an aging furnace, we recommend a combustion safety test to ensure your family safety.
