Tech checked the manufacturer warranty before quoting and found the compressor was still covered. Saved me about $1,800. He did not have to do that.

AC Repair and HVAC Service in Cornelius, NC
Same-day AC and heating service in Cornelius. Whole-home dehumidification for Lake Norman homes, plus flat pricing approved before work starts.
The short answer
Kessler Heating & Air serves Cornelius and the Lake Norman area. Homes near the water carry a humidity load inland houses do not, so comfort complaints here are more often solved by dehumidification than by adding cooling capacity.
What we actually see here
Lakeside humidity mistaken for a lack of cooling
Cornelius sits on Lake Norman, and a lot of the housing stock was built to enjoy that: large glazed elevations, open plans and generous volume, much of it from the 1990s onward.
Waterfront and near-water homes carry a humidity load that inland houses do not, and the big glass elevations add solar gain on top. Owners here usually arrive convinced they need more cooling, when the number that is actually wrong is the relative humidity. A house at 74 degrees and 45 percent humidity feels dramatically better than the same house at 71 and 60. Whole-home dehumidification often solves in one visit what three seasons of thermostat fiddling could not.

Asked them directly whether a heat pump would keep up in a proper ice storm. The tech said no, not on its own, and then walked me through sizing the backup heat properly. First HVAC person who did not just tell me what I wanted to hear.

Our 2020 build was constantly humid despite the AC running nonstop. Turned out to be an oversized system, exactly as they suspected before even coming out. Added a dehumidifier and the difference is night and day.
Your AC quit. Cold air by tonight.
Two ways to start. Pick whichever suits the state you are in right now.
