"I was having a problem with my air conditioning. The thermostat was blank. I called Ray?s HVAC. They came over and identified the problem. Then they came back two days later and fixed it. Everything is working fine now. I would use them again and recommend them to people I know."

"Home Advisors directed me to an online scheduling program and within 30 minutes of an appointment being scheduled I received a verification call from the provider (Robert at Phase II). The next day he shows up on time and in the course of doing the repair (unit needed more refrigerant) he also went into the attic to ensure the unit was working properly and he verified the thermostat was in working order. So he touched all the bases. He finally left when everything was verified in working order. But the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE was the phone call a week later to see if the air conditioning was working properly. Wow....I've never had a contractor follow up like that!"

Customers say: Quality work
"Had an "A/C tune up" done to an old central air system. Guy was really knowledgeable, walk me thru the inspection, and was really thorough. I feel like the A/C tune special is a bit misleading. Yeah they check the unit but any small repair that needs to be done is extra. Also person had to reschedule from a Sat to Sun appointment and was 3 to 4 hours late on the Sunday appointment. I get it's the busy season. However, I would hire again and recommend to others. They seem honest about the work which is rare for any job."

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.
