"Repairs were excellent and thorough "even well documented". The tech found units low on coolant. He identified and repaired multiple refrigerant leak points. I have dealt with many HVAC contractors over the years and Freedom Air Mechanical is one of the best. I highly recommend."

"The proprietor, Ryan, was a knowledgeable HVAC experience! My husband and I know very little about furnaces. Ryan was patient and taught us what we needed to know like scheduling cleanings for our needs. He is also available to expand our water system at a later time. Ryan gets a five star rating from us."

"Douglas first helped me understand which furnace was the best solution for my home and situation, when I was feeling lost and had no idea what direction to go with such a big-ticket purchase. The job was then done on time (super helpful when your furnace dies in the cold season). And the house is warmer with the new propane setup. I am happy I followed his advice. He answered all my questions. And he even saved me a bigger problem by pointing out my basement was lacking post support by the stairs and a sag had started. That was so kind of him as it was a simple fix with a couple metal beams. But I did not realize what was happening and if he had not spoken up, I think it would have progressed to me not being able to open my basement door."

"Matthew and his crew were extremely professional and efficient. The work was completed on the day scheduled and they cleaned up after themselves. Heat pump works great and they were able to direct me to an Effeciency Maine site where I received a substantial discount on the installation, equipment and cleaning plan!! Great company to do business with and will recommend them to family and friends. I will definitely not hesitate to use this company again if the need should arise!!"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Hiram, ME

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.
