"Service man arrived as expected and performed the annual maintenance of the air conditioning system. The work was thorough and it was something that was familiar to me as I used to do in my younger years. With heavy use of airconditioning in the summer in CA, this is important and something we do every year.

"Robert was great. Communicative before the appointment and called me in advance to let me know he'd be a little later than the original appointment time. Installed our thermostat quickly and helped set it up on our wifi and connect to the app. Tested to make sure it worked correctly. Showed me how to use the parts and removed the old device. The price was the same as quoted prior to the appointment. Very happy."

"The two installers were friendly, they knew their stuff, got right to work and finished 30 minutes earlier than the time they estimated. The did quality work and left my garage cleaner than when they started. The person that came out to inspected the work took a couple of pictures (the same pictures taken by the installers). He was not very friendly and he did not want to answer any of my questions. Total waste of my time! I would recommend Goettl Air Conditioning to my friends, the installers are experienced, did a great job, answered all my questions, let my garage clean, and installed a new HOT water heater for my home. Thanks!! Ted Burkey"

"The blower motor on my furnace went out. Every company I asked for a quote told me I needed to replace the entire furnace and quoted me thousands of dollars to do so. I hired Cool Air For You and the tech came out the next day and replaced the blower motor in a few hours. The AC and heating works again and I didn't have to spend 4 or 5 figures. Highly recommended."

"Michael was knowledgeable and very informative. The installers were competent, outstanding, and courteous. Aire Care’s bid was more budget friendly compared to other major local companies. The crew promised to get installation done in 2.5 days but completed the work in 2 days with an additional install. All in all, we would go with AireCare Heating and Air any day. We highly recommend AireCare Heating and Air."

"Technician Angel came on time. He first cleaned our HVAC unit, checked the wirings & parts & performed tests to ensure the unit is running according to standards. He inspected the Air ducts, vents even the attic. He explained everything and showed us the pictures that he took & the results on HVAC heating and cooling tests that were done. Overall a very good job done by Technician Angel I told him to come back after 6 months. Already recommended Airtime Heating & Cooling to my neighbor. 5 STARS"

"Perfect. Anthony D is the technician to request for sure. He was very professional, honest, found the root of the air conditioning problem right away. Anthony went above and beyond to ensure the problem that we were having with the air conditioner unit was fixed entirelly before leaving the property. He never at one point tried to upsale any additional issues. He identified the problem, showed me what was causing the problem, explained what he needed to do to fix the problem, reviewed the cost before doing the work, fixed the problem. First service provider I've ever felt 100% comfortable in knowing I hired the best person to do the job. Thank you Carini for sending Anthody D to do the job for us. I will recommend Anthody D to everybody I know. If you are looking at Carini to hire for your air conditioning needs do yourself a favor and request Anthony D to be the technician sent to your property."

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.
