"Couldn't ask for better service or quality from start to finish. Have recommended Mike and company to my sister. Furnace and air conditioning units were installed in one day. There was nothing for us to clean up inside or outside when the job was done."

"The price was $2,575 lower than the same work estimate from another company. The work actually took two days. They covered the tubing outside the house with a grey covering to match my siding so it would blend in the way I requested. They listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. They gave me two options on where I wanted to choose to place the outside unit. I am very happy with the quietness of the units compared to my old window a/c's. The units are very powerful and can be adjusted any way you like. Since they're wall mounted they are space savers. Plus, they can heat too. I am happy with the work done and wish I had done it years ago. The two men installing were very professional and courteous. I will be using them again for other work, such as insulation, etc."

"I liked that they sent a plumber within hours especially with the weather conditions.  He told me his concerns about the crawl space and how it was almost impossible to work in the space.  He called his boss to discuss the situation and then spoke with my brother and we all agreed to the solution.

"Went very well and I had a new furnace filter and asked if he would switch it for me which he did no job he said. Also they accepted the national fuel $50.00 rebate. So you just pay them fill out the form and get your $50. check in mail from national fuel. It was inexpensive and tmark still excepted their own coupon on top of the rebate. Want to call back for my central air unit in spring hopefully with a coupon."

Small jobs welcome

"Cellino is awesome. They saved the day when my basement flooded in 2018. So when a few weeks ago my parents (both in their 80's) had plumbing problems, they called me, and as their POA, it was a no-brainer. Cellino. I called and made an appointment. The two techs assigned to the job, Nick Piracci and Joseph Neuhaus knocked it out the park. I expected no less based on the service I received two years ago. They were awesome, friendly, patient, and professional. Answered all my questions, explained everything and even provided answers to questions I wouldn't know to ask. My parents informed me of one issue, but it turned out to be far more and they were all addressed. Given all that's going on these days with COVID-19 and the impact it has had on many businesses, it was such a comfort and relief to have Cellino take care of my parents plumbing issues. It was stress-free. I was able to work without wondering and worrying. My parents were very happy with the service delivered. And happy parents means happy POA. Cellino was referred to me, and they are officially my go-to for plumbing needs. Though I had different techs, it's nice to know that no matter who shows up, you can count on excellent customer service from beginning to end.. This includes the ladies in the office. Thanks Taylor! I highly recommend Cellino."

Emerald Heating & Cooling was founded in 2000 by Marty and Carrie Sheehan, who combine their strengths to offer great HVAC service to the local area.\n\nThe business began after founder Marty Sheehan worked for an HVAC company and trained under a wise technician who told him “be like the duck on the water.” By this, he meant that ducks always appear graceful and in control above the water, while below the surface they are trying hard to stay afloat. It’s a metaphor for working hard while doing a beautiful job, hustling without mistakes, and doing great work without the fuss.\n\nMarty has taken this mindset and applied it to every aspect of our business, from the logo to the mission. This is how we approach every job we do.

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Amherst, NY

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.
