"Oh My Gosh! What an amazing company to work with! I can’t stress enough what a pleasure it was having them in my home! John and Lauren worked smoothly and respectful throughout the day explaining everything to me. This is the first time I’ve had air conditioning. If I could give these gentlemen a 10 Star ⭐️ rating I would, period! You will not go wrong using their services from the price quote to a professional, thorough completed job! Thought it would take 2 days but no only one! Thank you John and Lauren ??"

"Very in detail description of what needed to get done and the why behind it. Awesome job, professional, answered every question on why my central AC was strong on first floor but very weak in second floor. Air handler moved from bottom floor to upstairs attic, higher capacity central AC and all ducts changed. Beautiful work done in 3 days with detailed report of what was done. Fair price for the job done. Before and after."

"I highly recommend Trinity A/C & Heating. Our air conditioning system stopped working, so we called another company to diagnose the problem. After a brief inspection, including a trip to the attic, they told us we needed a completely new duct system at a cost of nearly $8,000. Fortunately, we decided to get a second opinion and called Trinity A/C & Heating. Jimmy thoroughly inspected the system and quickly identified the real issue: the system was simply low on refrigerant. They fixed the problem for a little over $300, and the A/C has been working perfectly ever since. Jimmy and Mike were honest, professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Their integrity saved us thousands of dollars and prevented us from paying for unnecessary work. It's refreshing to find a company that puts honesty and customer service first. If you need A/C service, do yourself a favor and call Trinity A/C & Heating before making any major repair decisions. Thank you, Jimmy"

"I am so glad I did not try to install our new dishwasher myself. Joseph Rand came out from All City Plumbing. We had some difficult existing conditions and our technician finished the job fast, clean and made it look easy. When I call All City back to my home for another job I will request to have Joseph come out.."

"We had Temp Air install our AC unit. The best decision we ever made. They were fast, reliable and dependable. Excellent customer service, did a phenomenal job. After a couple of years something was going on with our unit, I called them and immediately they send out a technician Juan, who was phenomenal. He explained what the issue was and resolved it asap! Highly recommend this company!"

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.
