Heating and AC Service in Apex
Apex runs its own electric utility, so homes in its service area buy electricity from the town rather than from Duke Energy. That affects your options when you replace a heat pump or air conditioner, because Duke Energy’s rebate programs apply only to Duke customers. Check your electric bill to see which utility serves your home before you compare rebates. With either utility, a system with a higher SEER2 rating, the federal efficiency rating for heat pumps and air conditioners, uses less electricity for the same cooling. We show you the rating and the price of each option side by side.
Air conditioning services: Our technicians install, repair, and maintain central air conditioners, and every repair starts with testing the system to find the failed part.
Dual fuel hybrid systems: A dual fuel system pairs an electric heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump handles mild days, and the furnace takes over when outdoor temperatures drop low enough that gas heat costs less to run.
Ductless mini splits: A mini split heats and cools one room or area without ductwork, which makes it a fit for a garage workshop, a converted attic, or an addition the main system cannot reach.
Pollen Filtration and Air Purification in Apex
Trees across the Triangle release pollen each spring, including the yellow pine pollen that coats cars and porches and oak pollen, a common allergy trigger. Pollen gets into a home through doors, windows, and gaps in the ductwork, and the HVAC system then carries it from room to room. We install filtration that captures it as air moves through the system.
- Air purifiers: A purifier installed with your HVAC system cleans the air as it circulates, capturing fine particles that a standard filter lets through.
- Air duct services: We repair gaps and damaged sections in ductwork that draw unfiltered air from the attic or crawl space.
Plumbing Repair and Water Heater Service in Apex
Our plumbers handle the repairs that keep a household running, from a shower valve that will not shut off to a water line that breaks underground between the meter and the house.
Water heater repair: We repair gas and electric water heaters, including failed heating elements, thermostats, gas valves, and leaking relief valves.
Water line repair: A break in the line from the meter to your house can show up as a soggy patch of yard, low pressure, or a jump in your water bill. Our plumbers repair the leak or replace the pipe.
Bathroom plumbing: We fix running toilets, dripping faucets, slow drains, and leaking shower valves, and we install new fixtures when you update a bathroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my heat pump blow cool air in the winter?
A heat pump runs a defrost cycle when frost builds up on the outdoor coil. During defrost, it switches to cooling mode for a few minutes to warm the coil, and the air from the vents feels cool until it switches back. Steam rising from the outdoor unit during this cycle is normal. If the air stays cool for longer than that, call us to check the system.
What MERV rating should my air filter have?
MERV, which stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, rates how well a filter catches small particles, and higher numbers catch more. A filter in the MERV 8 to 11 range catches pollen and dust without restricting airflow in a typical home system. Higher ratings capture finer particles but can strain a blower that was not built for them, so ask us before moving above that range.
What causes popping sounds from my water heater?
Popping or rumbling usually means sediment has built up on the bottom of the tank. Water trapped under the sediment boils as the burner or element heats it, and the bubbles make the noise. Flushing the tank removes the buildup, and a tank that keeps popping after a flush may be near the end of its life.
Who is responsible for a broken water line between the street and my house?
The town is generally responsible for the line up to and including the water meter, and the homeowner is responsible for the pipe from the meter to the house. If you see water pooling between the meter and your foundation, the repair is usually yours to arrange. Our plumbers can locate and repair the break.
