"Shay's crew installed a new HVAC unit and duct work in our attic. Was previously under the house and was not working efficiently. They were great. They worked cleanly and did a great job."

"Mr. Moorer found several parts that needed to be replaced in both units, and I was happy to pay for parts and labor to the tune of $1300 rather than buy an entire new unit. I was very pleased with Mr. Moorer's knowledge, work ethic, and professionalism. I have also placed my units on the annual maintenance program that they offer.

"Computer did the "gotta send info to Microsoft" but when tried to reboot it ran through automatic repair without success. I did all the alternative without any success. He came and picked up the hard drive on Tuesday and returned it on Saturday. Fortunately he was able to "restore" without any data loss. Very happy with outcome."

"The water heater in my rental property gave up after "only" 25 years! I almost called Lowe's in New Bern (rental is in Oriental), but they didn't carry Rheems, only Whirlpools and another brand Consumer Reports doesn't rate very highly. After getting several estimates, I chose Scott. They had the 60 gallon model I wanted, came on time the very next day, were quick and professional, and in about two hours I had a new electric water heater w/PEX hookups. They carted away the old, rusted tank, and I now have happy tenants. Thanks, Scott."

"We wanted to replace our existing Heating, Air Conditioning Unit. We called several contractors and had them out to give us an estimate. Wes Hudson called us immediately, emailed us information to review before he came to give us an estimate. He gave us a much more thorough evaluation of our existing system than the other contractors. Gave us an estimate and when we told him we were going to check with another contractor to see if we could get the same unit at a lower price, he gave us an even lower price. We checked Angie's List to see what his rating was and decided to go with him. The installers were very neat and efficient and had the new unit in about 6 or 7 hrs. We are very pleased with Hudson's and have already recommended him to people in our neighborhood who saw that we were getting a new unit. A plus!!"
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.
