Remember that level in Super Mario Bros. 3 where the angry sun dips down out of the sky and tries to take Mario out? No matter how fast you run, how well you dodge, it’s coming for you — hot, relentless, and absolutely personal.

Well… that’s today.

When the Carolina sun is bearing down like it has a personal vendetta, you don’t need nostalgia — you need air conditioning that works. Because once your home starts heating up, it doesn’t take long before you feel like you’re in your own 8-bit boss battle.

Why It Feels Like That Mario Level Outside

Here in Fayetteville, Pinehurst, Laurinburg, and across our service areas, summer heat is no joke. We’re talking 95 to 100 degrees outside, and your attic? That’s easily hitting 130+. If your air conditioner isn’t in tip-top shape, it’s not going to just “struggle” — it’s going to wave the white flag.

Here’s what we’re seeing in homes across the region:

A/Cs running non-stop but not cooling enough

Hot spots in certain rooms, no matter what the thermostat says

Refrigerant recharges that only last a season (you’ve got a leak)

Sky-high energy bills with nothing to show for it

Here’s the Hard Truth

If your system needed attention last year, and you didn’t take care of it — that problem didn’t fix itself. In fact, this heat is just pushing it further toward failure.

Cooling systems are designed to run more during extreme heat, but they’re not designed to run forever. If your home is staying hot even with the system running all day long, that’s a red flag. You could be dealing with:

Undersized equipment

Poor ductwork or leaking ducts

A dirty evaporator coil

Low refrigerant from a leak

A system that’s just too old to keep up anymore
