"Nate was amazing! He inspected and worked on my homes air conditioning unit. He was so pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable, and informative... he took the time to explain all the work he did and recommendations on what needs to be done in a way that I could understand. He talked about the different options I had on future upgrades/replacements/repairs and their cost without any pressure on buying them NOW... I am so pleased with this experience and plan on using this company in the very near future for some of Nate's recommendations... In addition, Nate refused taking a tip ! Trustworthy & Honest with EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS!"

"Prior to hiring Topshelf to install a wholehouse steam humidifier I spoke with several companies. Darrell responded quickly, was knowledgeable and willing to explain and answer all my questions and concerns. His team arrived on time, introduced themselves, followed Covid safety measures, put shoe coverings on everytime they entered my house. When the installation was completed, they made sure I knew how to operate the system. No trace of them was left behind only a house that now is humidified and overall much warmer with a lower temperature setting. I would highly recommend this company!"

"Habib is seriously the most thorough professional we have ever had! He expertly explained the new AC/furnace system to us so we knew precisely how the system worked, before he installed anything. He was so considerate and enthusiastic and he loves helping his customers. Our A/C unit worked so well and I know our brand new furnace will be great this winter. If I could give him 10 stars I would because he was so knowledgeable and conscientious!"

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.
