"Luke Mahan and his assistant Mike did the work. They ended up fixing some issues with the air conditioners which are quite old. I am very satisfied. They did a great job and explained everything they did. I would certainly hire again."

"I received a call back from Doneright HVAC within 5 minutes of posting on Home Advisor. Garret arrived to my home in 30 minutes with his technician (as promised.) They were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He was thorough in trying to pinpoint the exact problem and offer the most cost effective solutions, while still informing me of the inevitable need to replace my 12 year old, failing system. He even identified a faulty outlet in my attic where the units heavy plug had been attached for over a decade, and had caused some type of electrical failure resulting in Black scorch marks on both the outlet and the plug which could very possibly have turned into a house fire had it not been identified. He immediately jumped in his car and drove all the way to Home Depot to go get The necessary materials to change the plug\ outlet to a breaker protected switch, and rewired it to prevent further danger, and hardly charge me a thing for it! To sum it up; I would recommend Doneright HVAC to anyone needing HVAC service of any kind and will be keeping them as my permanent HVAC professionals! Thanks for everything guys!"

"The repairman came within a few hours of our call on a day that Baton Rouge was experiencing Hurricane Laura! The air conditioning was needed due to hot humid air outside and the family has a 6 month old baby! The problem was repaired within 45 minutes and no charge was made as we had a warrantee on the unit. I Highly recommend this company."

"Very professional and totally knowledgeable about his products and installation. He worked with me on trying to explain what was necessary for my job and didnâ t try to sell me more than I needed. In the end I did decide to replace The whole AC and Heating Unit for peace of mind through no press from him. He has a additional one year warranty on labor only if needed. He was here on a Thursday and started the job on Friday then finished on Saturday. He moved his schedule around to accommodate me so I wouldnâ t be without AC. He was dependable and on time. I know I can call him for my future AC issues if any."

"I recently had Amerson’s Heating and Air Conditioning install an Ecobee thermostat at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The technician was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain how everything worked before leaving. The installation was quick, clean, and done right the first time. The new Ecobee thermostat works great and has already made managing the temperature in my home much easier and more efficient. I really appreciated the excellent customer service and attention to detail throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Amerson’s Heating and Air Conditioning to anyone looking for reliable HVAC service or smart thermostat installation!"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Albany, LA

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.
