About HVAC service in Durham
A large share of the equipment we service in Durham was installed by a builder to a minimum spec. That usually means an undersized return, a cheap filter rack and a condenser sitting close to a wall.

Durham HVAC questions, answered
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Durham is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
What brands do you service in Durham?
All of them. Our 27701 technicians are trained on Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem and essentially every other residential brand sold in North Carolina, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Durham we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during May through September. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 27701?
A diagnostic visit in Durham typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
