"I won't call any other heating or AC experts ever again. Twice now, I've had incomparable experiences. I had another highly reputed company come diagnose my failed furnace and provide an estimate, but AirPros' price for the same part and repair was much more reasonable and furnace repairs are not cheap, so the difference mattered significantly. AirPros also treated me like family. Go with this family business, you will be happy."

"Very well. The technician was knowledgeable and willing to explain what he did and found. He left a good report on his findings. He also cleaned the electronic air filter, which I wasn't expecting. The price I paid was an Angie's List special $39 - great price and service!"

"Worked with Greenwood Heating and Air on a furnace replacement and only have excellent things to say about the company and team. Customer service, pricing, timeliness, thoroughness, and friendliness were top notch. Contacted them initially for an inspection of our 28-year old furnace. The technician Frej was prompt, thorough, and courteous, explaining in detail the issues we might face with this still working but old units. Based on the findings we reached out for a quote on a system replacement. Lori took diligent care in listening to our concerns and hopes for a new system, recommending systems that might work for our household. She was always available for follow-up questions, providing answers that really helped us decide on getting a new system (Trane XC80 furnace with air scrubber) via Greenwood H+A. Prices were fair, on par with expectations and quotes from other businesses. On the day of the install, the team at Greenwood H+A, including Jake, Jordan, and Jason were very flexible, coordinating with the roofing company we had hired to take down our chimney and replace with a vent, to get the project moving on time. They were all very communicative, which we appreciated, and gave us regular updates on the progress. They finished what seemed like a big job within the day, despite the install occurring in our cramped crawl space. Our house is now toasty warm again with a great new furnace and all the bells and whistles. Would definitely recommend them for similar job, including for custom requirements as was our case with the roof. Thanks!"

"I had an appointment to get my ancient gas furnace tuned up and I have to say, the technician Kevin did an excellent job. I I could give him more than 5 stars I would. It started with how nice and polite he was. He put a mask on when I asked without giving me a hard time. This is very appreciated. Then he noticed something was not hooked up (the fan only function) and he fixed it. Then he noticed the holder for my filter wasn't seated right so he fixed that (which was no small amount of work), and then he cleaned two areas of the furnace I NEVER saw anyone else clean in the 15 years I have lived here. Then he cleaned everything up and made sure to explain everything well and made sure I was happy with everything. I cant even believe the excellent service. On top of that he was quick, efficient but did not make me feel rushed. This ancient furnace is working better than it has in years! Do not hesitate to go with Smart Electric - they are top notch - oh yeah - on top of all of this great service, the price was $100 less than other companies I had out to do the same job! The other companies charged more and did less. Smart Electric just got a customer for life. I highly recommend!!!"

"The experience was great. Started out with the Comfort Advisor Tyler who went through every detail with me. When it came time to schedule the front office was always calling and telling me when the folks would arrive. The Technician Chris W. who came the next day to get the air conditioning going was superb. The furnace was very loud and he worked on it to get to the right sound levels for us. He spent quality time explaining everything to me."

"As much as I detest the City of Seattle's current plan to force homeowners to convert from oil heat by 2028 ("Kill the Poor" indeed), I have to admit that it was the nudge I needed to act. I found Bel Red through Mitsubishi's NoMoreOilHeat website that partners with the City to offer $1500 rebates on select systems. A heat pump seemed like the smartest decision, considering natural gas is also in the City's crosshairs. Thanks to Bel Red's winter sales event, along with the City's rebate, I saved roughly $6500. The oil-to-heat pump conversion was a 2-day event. Day 1 involved decommissioning the oil furnace and installing both the inside and outside heat pump units. Day 2 involved connecting and starting up the heat pump. This took place in mid-March, so Bel Red left me with, ironically, a couple of those oil-filled space heaters to keep me warm overnight. (Newsflash: They didn't!) I hadn't quite considered the ramifications of converting heating systems during wintertime, but it saved a lot of money. Still, if I had it to do over, I'd spend the night at a friend's house. I continued to feel that to-the-marrow cold well into Day 2, anxiety rising as the crew tried to locate the subcontracted electrician, who was late. Let's talk about Bel Red's crew. With one small exception, everyone was fantastic: Joe, the salesman, who put up with my early morning crankiness and knew exactly when to back off and let me think; Yolanda, who answered many, many (and I mean many) questions; Ray and his crew, who were efficient, professional, and made Day 1 as smooth as can be; all the assistants and subcontractors, even the electrician who was late; the office staff, especially the woman who got such a kick out of my telling her that trying to get information from Honeywell is like trying to nail water to the wall; and especially Russ, the Day 2 technician, who saw I was suffering despite being bundled to the hilt and growing more nervous as the electrician continued to be held up at a previous site, assured me that he would stay until the system was up and running. And he did. Russ is a superstar who is an asset to his employer and his profession. I've had the new system for 3 months now and I LOVE it! Having a quiet indoor unit took some getting used to. I wasn't sure the thing was even on at first. The temperature is the same in every room! And the heat is even! None of these blasts of heat, followed by rapidly-cooling air. It is so wonderful! I used the air conditioning for the first time recently, and it too made my house feel comfortable on an unusually muggy day. I will admit to a bit of a sticker shock when I received my first electric bill after the conversion, but some of that can be attributed to stay-at-home quarantine. I did the math, and estimate that I'll save about $600 a year in heating costs, but we'll see. Use of the air conditioning may reduce that savings. And now for some tough love. Finding someone responsible for remedying a failed City permit inspection was challenging. (It should be noted that Bel Red is considered an essential service and continued to sell and service systems during this time period.) When I finally pinned down someone responsible for addressing the problem, he used that old deflection tactic of claiming I'd been the one who'd been difficult to get ahold of.. I'm not sure if this guy doesn't understand that cell phones keep call records, including missed calls, or if he just thinks people won't notice his offensive behavior. Let's be clear about this tactic. This is called gaslighting. If you don't know what that is, go look it up, but rest assured that it has no place in a customer service interaction."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Carnation, WA

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.
