Durham, NC
Air Conditioning in Durham: what's different
Air Conditioning work in Durham follows the local climate. Mixed climates get real summers and real winters, so the AC has a full season of work and then sits idle. Spring start-up problems such as weak capacitors, low charge and clogged drains are common.
A common Durham pattern: humidity and mold. Humid summers and damp crawl spaces make correct sizing and duct sealing important to avoid mold. Another: mill houses. Small historic mill houses in Old West Durham and Edgemont have little attic or crawl space room, so ductless systems or carefully planned short duct runs work best.
The air conditioning services Durham homeowners ask for most are AC Repair. Warm air, no cooling, short cycling, noises and breaker trips.
The City-County of Durham Inspections Department issues mechanical permits. Duke Energy offers efficiency programs for qualifying upgrades.
