"Highly recommend. Found this company last year on Angie's List and this is the second time using them. I was in a pinch as the A/C went out and we have a little baby. I called and they got someone out the same day. Jeff was great...knowledgeable, friendly and answered a lot of questions! Got the unit working again! These are my go-to HVAC guys!"

"5/28/2015:
Jim is awesome. We called, he came (on time), and conquered our issues ? for a reasonable price to boot! I called him because our indoor forced air unit was leaking water. In the process of clearing some debris from the drainage tube running from the evaporator coils to the floor drain, we found some mold growing in an old unused humidifier unit connected to the furnace. The unit was not supposed to have water running to it, but my plumbers turned it on anyway and I did not realize (a story for another day). After having kids perpetually sick all winter long, I wanted that unit immediately removed. Despite a busy schedule, Jim obliged, ran out to get sheet metal that he didn't have in the truck and removed the unit / patched up the hole where it was. We had a mold and air quality test done immediately afterwards to make sure nothing made it's way out of the humidifier unit ? all good on that front :)

6/11/2015: 
I'd like to give an update on my situation. My unit began leaking again from the area near the evaporator coils the day after Jim was first here. It leaked much less now, but I had him come back out to investigate the matter further. After checking the flexible drain pipe from the indoor unit, Jim said we should install new indoor evaporator coils and a new outdoor cooling unit. I was a little surprised because our current unit runs very, very well. It is old, but is historically a long-lasting model (as mentioned by every A/C guy that has ever stepped foot in our home). Our neighbors actually have the same unit as us and it runs just as well for them.

So I told Jim that I would have to think about such a large expense. After he left, I turned to Google to triple-check any reasons why my unit might be leaking. After some digging around, I learned that dirty evaporator coils might be the culprit. So I got my screw gun out and removed some of the sheet metal panels in order to access the evaporator coils. Low and behold, I found .25" of black dust and cat hair caked onto the under side of the coils. I cleaned the coils with a soft bristle brush, turned the unit back on, and voila, it stopped leaking! This is presumably because the air flow was much better over the coils now and they stopped freezing and blocking normal drainage. 

I can't help feeling that Jim should have at least mentioned to me that the evaporator coils could be an issue and that cleaning them was an option before wanting to install a new outdoor cooling unit / new indoor evaporator coils that was ball-parked at $3,000.00. No doubt we will probably need a new unit within five years, but the fact is, it still runs very well. 

Jim is a very nice and friendly serviceman. All services that he did perform he performed very well. It's what he didn't do that was disappointing and is my reason for giving him an overall rating of 'C'.

Jim unexpectedly called us last night to check in on our unit. He said that he was thinking about our issue and that it dawned on him that the evaporator coils might need to be cleaned. I'm changing the overall score to a "B".

AWE (Air, Water, Energy) did a great job. The installers arrived on schedule and worked all day to removed the old equipment and installed the new equipment.  When they were finished, everything looked great and the work area was completely cleaned up.  The air conditioner has worked great all summer and kept our house at a comfortable temperature.  I am looking forward to a similar experience with the new furnace, also.  After the system was installed, AWE sent an inspector to our house to make sure the job was completed satisfactorily (which it was) and take pictures of the equipment to make sure it was installed correctly (which it was).

FYI, we have been a customer of AWE for over twenty years because of the great service they have always provided.  This was the 2nd furnace and air conditioner we have purchased from them.  They also installed our current water heater.  The technicians are always very knowledgeable and friendly.  They always arrive when they say they will arrive, and do what they promise.  The services provided have always met or exceeding our expectations.  I would recommend AWE to everyone.

"He was very good.  I had some company coming from out of town and my air conditioning wasn't working.  He came that day to fix it.  He knows what he is doing.  He gets the job done.  He came within 1/2 hour of my phone call because he was in the area.  He got my air conditioner going right away.  It was really hot that day.  He took care of it right away.  He could have tried to tell me it was the compressor or something, but he didn't.  He was prompt, he did a good job, and he was fair.  He installed a furnace and air conditioner at my mother's house as well.  He did a good job there too.  He was here previously to try and quiet down my air conditioning, but nothing seemed to work too well.  He was really good on the installation, but I thought he was a little high on the repair. "

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Hinsdale, IL

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.
