"Leahy Heating & Air Conditioning came out when my AC stopped working and the house had no air. They were able to find the issue in the system, explain what needed to be repaired, and get everything cooling again. The service was professional, honest, and fairly priced. I would definitely recommend Leahy Heating & Air Conditioning for AC repair in Gainesville and the surrounding North Central Florida area."

"Sunshine services handle the job like professionals they are. They came to the house check out the old air and Heat conditioner gave me an estimate on a new unit went with their estimate they got it installed professionally and now we are back up and Cooling thank you sunshine. The only thing I regret is they did not work with my insurance company like I thought they were along & along, and I never got any paperwork showing what was wrong with the old unit so I have nothing to submit to my insurance company so not sure if I'm ever going to get anything out of that insurance plan."

"I bought the house with a 14 year old air conditioner,Three months after getting the mortgage the AC died, so I called the phone number on the thermostat and it was Shatto who had done servicing on the unit years ago, so they know how to keep an old unit running the tech who showed up was helpful and said “Yeah I could refill the freon but if there's many leaks it will be cheaper to replace the unit … you'll have to have another refill in a couple months” He found three more leaks so I agreed to have them install a new unit these people know what they're doing and they have integrity and they even held on to my new unit for more than 30 days while I was waiting for financing they pulled out the old unit and put in the new unit in less than 6 hours and my wife had excellent air conditioning for the first time in more than a month thank you Shatto"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Alachua, FL

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.
