"I whole heartedly recommend Airco. Their team was experienced, skillful, friendly and professional throughout the duration of this job, from Joe's first visit to my home to discuss air conditioning options to Derek and Cam's final touches on the duct system. I had complete confidence in them, as well as in Steve, Danny, Frank and Patrick. Additionally, Airco's connections to MassSave and Commerce Bank meant financing and payment options to suit my budget. No more hauling loud and heavy window a.c. units up from the basement. Instead, I am enjoying consistent cooling throughout my home with no noise whatsoever. I am a very happy customer!"

"We have been in our home for a little over a year and thought it best to have our furnace serviced especially since we don't have a detailed history of service. Frankie D showed up 5 minutes early for our appointment which was fantastic. Frankie was quick, clean and gave me a once over on the age and condition of our furnace. We talked about when the next service would be due. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I am thankful that we now have our go to company for anything furnace related."

"Diagnosis and repair were straightforward and the talented Mike, who has done other great work for us on our ACs, had a replacement pump in his truck. Swapped over in under an hour. Cost of the repair was quite high, mainly due to very high price they charged for the pump. A Taco pump that I could buy for $175 was priced on this repair at more than $500. I get that it was an urgent situation and I’m happy to pay reasonably for the response but that mark-up bothered me. I called the office, had a long talk with the owner; sadly, she offered no consideration at all. Yes, it’s hard to find and keep skilled techs, but now seems that most HVAC firms have a business model like a car dealer’s service dept, far more corporate, less flexible or customer-considerate."

"Peter is a knowledgable and professional in his work. He explained everything thoroughly in a way that could be understood. He was also very personable. I would highly recommend Morris Heating and Air Conditioning of Ipswich Mass. We have been very pleased with the service for over ten years."

"David Sampaio from SumZero was one of six contractors we interviewed for central AC replacement. David was very helpful in our decision making process when we were deciding between AC and heat pump units. His price was very reasonable too. We chose the heat pump in the end and are very happy with the choice. David’s team was very polite and professional during installation, they did an excellent job setting everything up and cleaning the area. High five, David! Thank you!"

"Service guy was very thorough and explained everything he did. Also what he would recommend to be done come spring. Like the idea of a service plan they offer coming twice a year to check heat pump. Would totally recommend them to others having heat pumps."

"????? I highly recommend Juan David and his team! They installed a complete central air conditioning system in our two-family home, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable. The installation was completed much faster than we expected, and everything was done with great attention to detail. Both units are working perfectly, and we couldn?t be happier with the results. What truly stood out was their kindness, honesty, and dedication to doing quality work. They offered a fair and competitive price with no surprises, and the value we received was outstanding. If you?re looking for a reliable HVAC company that delivers excellent workmanship and outstanding customer service, Juan David and his team are the ones to call. We are extremely satisfied and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a five-star experience. Darron &Cristina"

"My central air system went down in the middle of a heat wave and virtually every HVAC repair service that I called told me that they weren t taking new clients and couldn t help me. I contacted Chris through home advisor and he agreed to help me out. He promptly came to my house, identified my problem, and ordered parts. When the parts arrived he immediately came back and installed them and I was up and running. Chris identified and fixed my problem and the entire process took only 2 days. On top of that, the price was more than reasonable and Chris is a super nice guy. I highly recommend Chris because he is a skilled and professional technician."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Boston, MA

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.
