"These folks were very professional, came out quickly, were the first one of the companies to call me back. It was an older furnace but they were able to find the parts and get it going again. I would recommend for any HVAC mechanical needs."

"Don't look anywhere else!! K &C is the best HVAC company period. I had a new AC unit installed in my new home. The price was very reasonable and competitive. They completed the work very timely. They were very kind and courteous - really nice people. I will use K & C for ALL my HVAC needs. I could not be more pleased with the impeccable level of service. Hire them - you will not be disappointed!!!"

"When the permit inspector came to the house, he told us that the install was beautiful. Rarely did he see such work that the contractor both knew how to accurately install all of our components (a/c, furnace, water heater, humidifier, and air purifier), but also cared enough to take the time to do the job right. A+ to Robbins for doing such an incredible job. I can give no higher recommendation."

"This gentleman is terrific!! Excellent advice on pros and cons of different options. Got us installed with a more efficient unit but also the correct size for our house. Works great and lowered our bill. Even gave me a courtesy call back to confirm my wiring when installing a new thermostat months later. Highly recommend!"

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.
