"I am an engineer and I know everything about air conditioning. I could do the installation myself, but I do not have a permit to work with some freons, and I do not have all the required tools, so I had to call a HVAC company to replace an old 2.5 ton heat pump system (that used R-22) with a new 2.5 ton heat pump system (that uses R-410A). The freon compressor in the old system had a short circuit to the ground, but because of the R-22 phaseout I had to replace the entire system rather than just the dead compressor. I contacted 13 companies that work in my area. 9 of them told me that they were very busy and could not take new orders. 4 companies sent salesmen who gave me price estimates. Three of the four price estimates included items that were not necessary, which is what pushed the prices up. When two people (Debbie Thomas and Ron Thomas) from Maryland Heating and Cooling showed up, they started to discuss with each other (in my presence) which items I do not need to replace; this would save me money. In the end they decided that none of the existing duct work needs to be modified and that the old copper freon lines are in good shape and can be re-used, all the wiring and fuses need not be replaced, and the old thermostat is perfectly fine. In the end they came up with the lowest price; significantly lower than the three other offers. Furthermore, they were able to do the installation on the second day after I signed the contract and paid the deposit. I was watching them while they did the work, and I am confident that they did everything right, because I understand exactly what they were doing and why. In other words, they did not cut any corners. And they were completely honest with their price estimate. I was very impressed. I can recommend this company."

"Grove did a great job in presenting all options for our new AC system and potential air cleaning systems (without making any aggressive sales pitches), and then did a great job with installing the new system. The new system has been in place for a few weeks now and is working very well - great job by Grove."

"Everything went great. My AC died and it was close to 20 years old so I wanted the whole unit replaced. I have 4 young kids so no AC in the summer was not a pleasant option. The owner came out on site the day we called and was able to have the new unit installed the next day. I have dealt with many HVAC companies in the past as an Insurance Adjuster. These guys exceeded my expectations and were very reasonable on price. I highly recommend using Buric Heating and Air Conditioning!"

"GAC services was able to come out for a same day trouble shooting appointment. Jim S arrived on time and was very courteous and professional. He was able to quickly identify the problem with the registers and dampers and able to get warm air flowing to the otherwise very cold areas of the house. In addition, Jim was able to recommend some additional services that would help me achieve the desired evenness of temperature such as an additional return and humidifier for the home. Great experienced master certified technician!"

"Dave the Tech was great. He called ahead to let me know he would be here in about 15 minutes and he arrived in the 15 minutes. He was courtesy and helpful and checked the unit inside and out. He explained every thing he was doing and what he found and how it could be fixed. Dave even took the time to talk to my husband over the phone on the issues he was finding. It was quite clear that Dave knew his stuff. I highly recommend Beltway Air Conditioning and Heating, LLC. I am definitely keeping their number by my phone."

"My heat stopped working on a Saturday morning! I thought 'oh no, how am I going to get someone to come out on a Saturday?' But Michael Bonsby has Saturday hours, thank goodness! Someone actually answers the phone! A technician came out that afternoon and fixed it quickly and I thought the price was reasonable. They don't charge extra on weekends! Would definitely call again! Great service."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Hanover, 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.
