AC repair
Short cycles, frozen coils, and condensers that died in July heat.

Licensed · Local · Same-day dispatch
Cooling that keeps up with a Piedmont August.
If the west bedrooms never catch up, the unit is short-cycling, or last summer’s repair is already back — a Hale tech diagnoses the system, not just the thermostat.

Which rooms, how old the unit is, and whether it is an emergency tonight.

A dispatcher calls back
Usually inside 15 minutes. Same-day windows if you call before 2.
03
Written price, then work
Repair vs replace is a conversation with numbers, not a scare.
Local ownership
A Raleigh shop that still sends the lead tech.
Marcus Hale left a national dispatch board so a homeowner in North Hills would get the same person who priced the job. Six techs live in North Raleigh, Cary, and Garner. We recover charge when that’s the fix. We replace when the coil is done.
How we work
Three promises that keep the phone honest.
Price before we start
Findings stay in the notes. No surprise ticket after the panel is open.
Repair when it is honest
We will not sell a 16-SEER swap to hide a $280 capacitor.
Parts that match the house
Equipment is sized for the envelope you have, not a flyer.

North Hills · Cooling
A ranch that could not cool the west bedrooms
The condenser was original and the return was undersized. We recovered the charge for August, then priced a right-sized replacement with a second return for October.
Cary · Heat pump
A unit that heated the yard, not the house
Reversing valve and a failed defrost board — not a new system. Ninety-minute repair, heat back before dinner.

“They priced the cause. The last company priced a replacement.”
James R., Oakwood★★★★★
“Called at 11. Tech in the driveway at 1:40 with the part that actually failed.”
Priya S., North Raleigh★★★★★
“No one talked down to us about our 19-year-old unit. That was the whole sale.”

Questions
The things people ask before they call.
Can you come today?
Call before 2 p.m. on a weekday and we usually can. After-hours emergencies go to the on-call tech, not an answering service in another state.
Do you always recommend replacement?
No. If the compressor is healthy and the coil is cleanable, we repair. Replacement gets a written load check, not a guess from the model number.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, on replacements and larger duct jobs. The estimate includes the cash price and the financed price so you can compare without a second call.
Which neighborhoods?
Wake County: Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Garner, Wake Forest, Knightdale, Holly Springs, and the close-in bits of Durham County we already run.
