"The company was a pleasure to work with. The quality and professionalism was good. The scheduling was quick and on time. I saw the previous complaints posted, but did not have any problems. I received their name thru Angies List and did not get additional estimates as it was 100 degrees and wanted AC ASAP. We told them that the fan wasn't working and needed repaired. They said the fan motor had a computer chip or some type of computer part with it and that's not common. After testing our AC unit their results showed that the condenser showed a good life span remaining. We were thinking about getting a new unit, they said it was our call but thought a repair would be a good choice. The boss called us and went over their findings and discussed our options. We decided to go with the repair due to the economy and their recommendation. When they removed the old motor they saw that it had been set to medium speed. Since I had previously told them our house is not balanced properly, he set it to high . The only thing I didn't care for was we had to pay for the estimate up front, but the fee was lower than I had expected. When we went to have it fixed they wanted the money up front again. I have always been taught to never do this but to put a deposit it down and pay in full when the job is complete. I did pay upfront again and did not have any problems. I do feel the fee was on the high side but again, I didn't get any other estimates and the other companies probably would have talked me into a new unit. We will see how long this unit lasts. The day after work was performed I had not received a receipt or warranty paperwork. I called the office and explained my thoughts of billing to them and they listened. Before I hung up my paperwork had been emailed to me. I would recommend them. They did not add any Freon and our unit is keeping our home cooler than ever. Thank you At Your Service."

"We contacted Bobby at New Handyman for plumbing services.  Bobby was fast, professional, and truly exceeded our expectations considering the job was slightly more challenging than we originally expected.  Based off the work done through the New Handyman Angie's List deal, we plan on using Bobby in the future as his calm demeanor and straight forward method of communication was truly a breath of fresh air.

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Fort Howard, MD

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.
