"The service advisor came out for free but he wasn?t an actual technician which is fine we mostly knew what was wrong. He wasn?t friendly but was unaware of the system we ran and called the next day to say they didn?t have a technician who could work on our system."

"Sunday 6/22 my mom's air conditioner was struggling. We called Aireserv who set up for their tech Bryson Bean to come out to mom's house. From the bright greeting smile as he introduced himself to the going over everything he was very professional and patient with all my questions. Highly recommend Aireserv for any of your heating and air conditioning issues. Thank you Bryson for being so you and personable."

Right from the start their customer service and salesperson Trent was exceptional. he went over and beyond to answer all of my questions and ensure that I had exactly what I needed and made the entire process so easy. The professionalism of their sales and installers are unmatched. Their service exceeded my expectations in terms of quality,price and installation. The installers of my hot water heater,Jordan Coleman and James Julia, were on time and explain the entire installation to me and answered all questions that I had. I would highly recommend CONSTELLATION HOME. thank you."

"They were very competent. They did it in one day and no problems. They did a very good job."
Most professional HVAC technicians require two to three hours to complete an expansion valve replacement. The timeframe depends on your unit's accessibility and whether additional repairs are needed. The process involves recovering refrigerant, removing the old valve, installing the new component, and recharging the system. Scheduling during less busy seasons may result in more convenient appointment times.
Operating your air conditioner with a malfunctioning expansion valve isn't advisable. Continuing to run the system could potentially damage other components, particularly your compressor, which is significantly more expensive to replace. If you notice performance issues like inconsistent cooling or unusual noises, it's best to have your system inspected before continuing regular use.
Expansion valves don't have a standard replacement schedule, as their longevity depends on system usage, maintenance frequency, and environmental factors. Regular professional maintenance helps identify potential valve issues before they cause system failure. Having your HVAC system serviced annually allows technicians to monitor component condition and recommend preventative replacements when necessary.
Refrigerant leaks require prompt professional attention. If your expansion valve is leaking, you'll likely notice reduced cooling performance and possibly hear hissing sounds near the unit. Addressing leaks quickly prevents further system inefficiency and avoids the environmental impact of released refrigerant. Your HVAC technician will need to repair the leak and recharge the system with the proper refrigerant type and amount.
Because many AC issues present similar symptoms, professional diagnosis is recommended. Problems like inadequate cooling, inconsistent temperatures, or strange noises could indicate expansion valve issues, but might also stem from refrigerant leaks, electrical problems, or airflow restrictions. A qualified HVAC technician has the tools and expertise to accurately identify the root cause and recommend appropriate repairs.
