"We recently moved into a house built in 1987 with the original air conditioning unit, which constantly ran without stopping. It was a brutal summer, but it was definitely not running properly. Joe came out himself to take a look. He took a look at the entire system and suggested that we service the AC to make it function properly and not constantly run. He also changed the air filter in the furnace. I appreciated the fact that he did not push a new air conditioning system in the house considering the unit we have is 25+ years old. He also gave us a few ideas on how to make our home more energy efficient. He did a great job.

"Iâ ve used New Energy Solutions for 7+ years and have only positive things to say about them. Recently my A/C went down and they responded to my phone call immediately and went about solving my problem that night. And considering the heat wave me and my family were thankful. I have recommended them to several clients of mine and I have always received rave reviews. They are reasonably priced, friendly and professional."

"I am very thankful that I found DG Mechanical on Home Advisor. After getting a few estimates from big name companies for getting central air conditioning installed in our home with existing ductwork I was getting exhausted with hearing all the upsell tactics. Derek was straightforward and prompt with all communications and very fairly priced. I felt even better after the work was done and seeing how nice and neat he left everything. While we aren’t using the air conditioner just yet it won’t be long now and we have Derek to thank during the upcoming hot summer days for keeping us cool and comfortable. I highly recommend DG Mechanical for all your HVAC needs."
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.
