About Me
Hello! I'm Wesley, owner and operator of Service Alphas. I am dedicated to provide eastern North Carolina with affordable and reliable heating, and air conditioning services.
Before starting Service Alphas, I served in the Marine Corps as an infantryman from 2014 to 2022. After my military service, I pursued my education, earning an Associate in Electrical Mechanical Maintenance and Engineering. My journey from the military to the HVAC industry has been driven by a strong work ethic, discipline, and a commitment to excellence—qualities I bring to every job I take on.
My mission is simple: to offer honest, high-quality HVAC services without cutting corners or misleading customers.
As a small business owner, I understand the importance of trust and community. I live in the same neighborhoods I serve, which means I’m not just a business owner—I’m your neighbor. I care deeply about the comfort and well-being of my customers because I know what it means to rely on someone to do the job right.
Thank you for considering Service Alphas for your HVAC needs. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you with the honesty, professionalism, and dedication you deserve.

List of Services
-
HVAC GlossaryList Item 1
Making informed purchasing decisions and getting the best performance from your home comfort system is easier when you know these common terms.
-
Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI)List Item 2
AHRI is a trade association that develops standards for measuring and certifying product performance. AHRI standards and guidelines are used worldwide. Equipment with the AHRI Certified® mark has AHRI’s assurance that it will perform accurately and consistently.
-
Annualized Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE)List Item 3
A measure of furnace heating efficiency. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the furnace.
-
A2L RefrigerantsList Item 4
A classification of refrigerants that are mildly flammable with low toxicity. A2L refrigerants, such as R-32 and R-454B, are increasingly used in residential HVAC systems due to their lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants like R-22 and R-410A. Proper handling and installation practices are required to ensure safety when using A2L refrigerants.
-
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
A colorless, odorless, and tasteless poisonous gas produced when fuels such as natural gas burn with insufficient air. Leaks can lead to serious health risks. Regular maintenance of heating and ventilation systems helps prevent CO exposure.
-
Decibel (dB)
A unit used to measure sound intensity.
- 40 dB – Library
- 50-60 dB – Normal conversation
- 100 dB – Motorcycle or garbage truck
-
Ductwork
A network of tubes that distribute heated or cooled air throughout a home. Properly designed ductwork enhances efficiency and comfort.
-
Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER2)
The ratio of cooling capacity to power input (in watts). Higher EER2 ratings indicate better energy efficiency.
-
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF)
The efficiency rating for heat pumps in heating mode. Higher ratings indicate better efficiency.
-
Heat Pump
An HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling by transferring heat between indoor and outdoor environments.
-
HVAC Zoning System
A system that uses dampers in the ductwork to regulate and redirect air to specific areas, allowing for customized temperature zones for improved comfort and efficiency.
-
MERV Rating (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value)
A calculation performed to determine the appropriate size of an HVAC system based on factors such as home size, insulation, climate, and occupancy.
- MERV 1-4: Minimal filtration
- MERV 5-8: Standard residential use
- MERV 9-12: Superior residential filtration
- MERV 13-16: Hospital-grade air quality
-
Packaged HVAC System
A heating and cooling system in which all components are housed in a single outdoor unit, commonly used in homes without basements or attics.
-
Programmable Thermostat
A thermostat that allows homeowners to set a schedule for heating and cooling, improving energy efficiency and comfort.
-
R-410A Refrigerant
A chlorine-free refrigerant that meets current EPA environmental standards. It replaces R-22 in modern HVAC systems.
-
R-32 Refrigerant
A low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerant used in modern air conditioning systems. R-32 is more efficient than R-410A, has better heat transfer properties, and contributes to lower carbon emissions. It is classified as an A2L refrigerant, meaning it has low toxicity and mild flammability.
-
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2)
A rating that measures the cooling efficiency of air conditioners. Higher SEER2 ratings indicate greater energy efficiency.
-
Short Cycling
A condition where an HVAC system frequently turns on and off, leading to inefficiency, higher energy costs, and potential damage to components.
-
Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)
A metering device that regulates refrigerant flow into the evaporator coil, improving efficiency and performance.
-
Ton (Cooling Capacity)
A unit of measurement for determining cooling capacity. One ton equals 12,000 BTUs per hour.
-
Variable Speed Motor
A motor that adjusts speed based on demand, improving comfort and efficiency by delivering consistent airflow.
-
Ventilation
The process of exchanging indoor and outdoor air to maintain air quality and regulate humidity levels.
