"I can't begin to speak more highly of George and the experience of hiring his company Honest and Fair Heating and Air to replace a full heating and air conditioning unit at my mother in laws house. I called and within a few short days a new system was up and running. The job was completed quickly, at the most reasonable price, and of the highest quality. I never felt oversold or under serviced in anyway. Hiring companies like Honest and Fair Heating and Air inspire me to find additional HVAC projects to have the chance to work with them again. I am sure I will be working with George again to install a zoning system at my place and whatever HVAC related I may need. If George could make copies of himself, the rest of the HVAC industry would be out of business!"

"Excellent service for our Central A/C system installation. The technician was professional, knowledgeable, and completed the work on time. Everything was explained clearly, and the system is running perfectly. I would highly recommend Go Pro Plumbing, Heating & Air for quality A/C service."

"The experience was fantastic! I never thought I'd say that about a furnace installation but the 2 servicemen Dmitry and his colleague made me feel very comfortable with all the proceedings. The last time I had to replace my central air system was different. The gentlemen doing the job were dismissive of my requests and ended up setting it up wrong having to return several times to finish. Nothing like that with RK Mechanical, super smooth sailing."

"They installed central heating and air in our home in 2025. They were efficient, did a excellent clean up, and friendly. They checked in a week after to make sure we were satisfied with the system and if we had any questions. We are extremely satisfied with the new system. The controls are easy to work and the system is very quiet and efficient."

"My 36-year-old heating and air conditioning system, which was original to my home, had been on borrowed time for some while. I researched and got bids from four local companies. I needed a new heat pump and air handler at least, but I also wanted to replace the insulation and duct work since it too was old and I had had some rodent issues in my attic some years ago. Insulation upgrades also qualify for additional SMUD rebates. Not only was Huft's bid the lowest, but my Bosch system is more energy efficient than any of the other systems quoted me and whisper quiet. From the salesman Glenn to the installation lead Tever and the insulation installer Anthony, I was impressed with their level of punctuality, courtesy, and professionalism throughout the process. In fact, Glenn was the only salesman who actually took the time to take measurements at my house and explained the numbers of why I needed a three-ton system. I am very happy with my system thus far and I would highly recommend Huft to others!"

"I hired Prime Energy after the owner Lionel Retes responded to my Angieâ s inquiry. He was here almost immediately. My initial thought about him was a sense of honesty. I had also read his other reviews. I was replacing a twenty seven year old heating and air conditioning unit. He didnâ t try to sell me a unit beyond what was needed. He recommended some new duct work. He completed it before he left for the day so we would have heat from our old furnace that night. He was correct, with the new duct work the old furnace warmed the house like it was new. If I hadnâ t already decided on a new system the old one would have worked but I figured its time was up. Leon installed the new Rudd system, the job was finished in three days. He put in long hours. His work ethic and craftsmanship are great. So far the new system is working well. I would hire Mr. Retes again and fully recommend him. Steve Knief"

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.
