"My husband has multiple medical issues that prevented him from finishing replacing a blower motor in our air conditioning unit. Mr. Ludlow took the situation and handled it professionally , not questioning "What my husband knew and did " as a problem. The blower motor was not the usual blower motor but was a variable speed motor. He and his son did what was needed . The air conditioning is working GREAT. Don't call the rest...Call the BEST"

"We had an estimate to replace our upstairs A/C unit that was roughly 12 years old from a large company that had been servicing our home for over 7 years. Gary replaced it AND the main level for less than half the price we were quoted - he saved us over 15K for 2 units! He drove more than 3 hours round trip two days in a row and worked incredibly hard - I was so impressed with his quality and attention to detail. His level of service and commitment was amazing. I could tell from the start, he was honest and he is very passionate about serving his customers. The whole process was so easy and so much less stressful dealing with the "big boys!" I would highly recommend Kubik Heating and Air and Gary!!!"

"Jim did a great job. He quickly assessed the problem and then took our unit with him to work on it more. When he got back to us, the fix would have cost more than it was worth. He gave us options for a new or refurbished PC. We felt the refurbished was a good deal and chose that. He came back and set that up and we are very happy with it. He then took a look at my laptop and again took it along. He tuned it up and installed a speed upgrade we wanted. Of course, we paid extra for the new unit and upgrades, but we thought the price was very fair. Jim seemed very knowledgeable and responsive. We will definitely call him again if we need any computer services."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Columbus, GA

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.
