Wake Forest HVAC Repair | Fix High Bills & Clogged Drains | Comfort Makers

In our area, algae and mold growth in the humid summer months is the primary culprit for clogged drains. To prevent it, we recommend having your HVAC system professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year, ideally in the spring. A technician can flush the drain line with a safe, EPA-registered biocide and install an algae-resistant float switch as a safety measure to prevent water overflow and damage.

Absolutely. An aging, poorly maintained, or incorrectly sized HVAC system is a major contributor to high energy bills in our climate. Common issues include dirty air filters, refrigerant leaks, failing components, and inadequate insulation around ductwork. Our technicians perform a comprehensive efficiency diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple fix like sealing duct leaks or a recommendation for a more efficient, modern system—and provide a clear plan to reduce your monthly costs.

You should regularly replace your air filter (every 1-3 months) and keep the outdoor condenser unit clear of leaves, grass, and debris. However, tasks like checking refrigerant levels, cleaning internal coils and blower components, inspecting electrical connections, and performing a combustion safety check (for gas furnaces) require a trained professional. Our preventative maintenance plans are designed to handle these complex tasks safely and thoroughly, catching small problems before they become expensive repairs or cause high energy bills.
