"I was very impressed with the work done by Hawk Air Duct Cleaining. After a mold remediation, I wanted the ducts cleaned to make sure they were not harboring any spores or toxins from that incident. Hawk was professesional, communicated clearly, and did an excellent job. Their vacuum truck creates a negative pressure in the whole system and then they cleaned each duct individually. They even left the vent covers sparkling."

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

"Chris was very professional and showed up at the appointment right on time. The estimate he quoted was right about what I thought it was going to cost. The total price exceeded the quote but that was because we had a part replaced that was still good per Chris but since the part was 15 years old we decided to avoid any future problems and had him replace it anyway. It took him a little over 4 hours to complete the repair but my air/heat pump was put back in factory condition and according to Chris should not give us any problems for years to come. Good job!"

"Jim came by and helped clean up some of the duct work in my house. He found problems I did not know were there and helped fix them for me. The air flow was much better when it was done."

"I did some self diagnosing on my central air unit that stopped cooling. I called up Luke and we agreed it was a capacitor issue. He was out with the part, and we were back up and running with barely a drop of sweat. Highly recommended!!"

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.
