New systems in Chatham Park
Homes in Chatham Park have new high-efficiency heat pumps, most still under the manufacturer's parts warranty. Warranty repairs usually go through a dealer for that brand, so have the model and serial numbers from the outdoor unit ready when you call. The sticker is usually on the side panel. A new system that stops cooling in its first few years often has an installation problem, like a low refrigerant charge or a drain line with the wrong slope.
Older homes and rural lots
Around the courthouse square and out in the county, many homes have heat pumps from the 1990s and 2000s. A technician based in Chapel Hill or Sanford may add a trip charge for a house on a farm road off US 64, especially after hours.

My new system is under warranty. Does that cover labor?
Most manufacturer warranties cover parts only. Labor falls under the installer's own warranty, which varies by installer, so check the paperwork from your builder before the visit.
