"Ocean State Air Solutions did a great job with our new Central Air Conditioning Unit installation. They came out in the spring to give us several different quotes for different types of air conditioning options, from wall units to central air with ventilation. They talked us through the pros and cons of the different systems and units. We decided to go with the Mitsubishi Electric unit with central air installation. The installation happened a few weeks later. The installation took 5 business days, and involved the installation of new ventilation in the attic with ducts in the ceiling. At the completion of the installation, Ocean State Air Solutions turned on the system and walked me through the operation of the system to ensure I understood how to operate. I recommend their services and would use again."

"Chris installed two Mitsubishi mini-split air conditioning/heat pump systems in our home. Chris responded quickly to our request for a proposal. He came to our home in a few days, did a thorough review of our options, explained how the systems work and patiently answered all our questions. He sent us his proposal the same day and his estimate was very reasonable. He installed our system in one day even though it required him to work late into the evening due to a delay in the delivery of the equipment caused by a major traffic accident. Chris is very professional and a pleasure to deal with. We recommend him without reservation."

"This was the best service with 2 highly qualified gentlemen. They were both knowlegable and friendly. They arrived 20 minutes after the initial call which was at the end of their day. They could have gone home for the day like the bigger companies did but instead they stopped on their way home and serviced my central air condition system in the middle of a heat wave. Unlike the other companies that I called who couldn't respond for 3 to 5 days even after I explained I had an infant to keep cool. If you're looking for a reliable company MTS is where you should shop"

"Mike and his team at Premier are exceptional. I hired them to remove the old oil burner and window air conditioners and replace them with heat pump systems. I received quotes from several companies but Mike and Premier were the only ones who offered me options based on their extensive expertise. It was clear from the beginning that they were skilled and knowledgeable about all aspects of HVAC. Iâ m very pleased with their installation and subsequent support with respect to filter change etc."

"We had a great experience with JLH Heating LLC from start to finish. They contacted us within five minutes of our mini split inquiry, and Jessica was incredibly accommodating when scheduling around our work schedules. James was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain the system and placement of each unit in our home. Throughout the installation, he and his team worked efficiently, kept us informed every step of the way, and patiently answered all of our questions. We’re extremely happy with the finished product, service and the entire experience. We’ll definitely be referring them to friends and family!"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Bristol, RI

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.
