"I called Pillar and they answered immediately. I asked them to schedule a service call for a check-up for my office unit. Quinton came out professional dressed came right in and got started. He told me he would recommend the service plan for my business so they could keep an eye on my unit to reduce any breakdowns. I was very impressed about his professionalism and knowledge of the equipment. I now have a peace of mind getting ready for the summer months Bill Roberts CEO Bill Roberts Electrical, Inc.

"Amazing service! I initially contacted them to get a competitive quote and a second opinion to compare to another local company. They showed up quickly and were very thorough. They also explained the costs to repair my older unit versus replacing it, but without pressuring me towards either decision. I ended replacing the unit due to the age of mine and due to the reputation and ratings of the HVAC units he installs. I would recommend calling them before making any decisions about HVAC work. Additionally, do some homework/research on the lower quality units that some companies are installing. It is likely that you will end up choosing AC Denco for your service or your new unit (if needed). Dennis impressed me as being very honest and knowledgeable. One of the best companies I have dealt with, for any service, in recent years. THANKS AGAIN!"

"Better than expected. Phil was the only contractor that responded AND came to my house on the same day that I called all the other contractors. He provided me the potential problem for my heat pump issues on the phone that eventually was confirmed during his initial visit and then during disassembly of the old duct system. He was very helpful in providing me additional savings and existing tax credits for the Attic Breeze vent system installed including for the heat pump providing me with the forms. Swift service done on a short time from initial call to complete installation (less than 1 week and completed installation in 7 hours). Great job by the technicians on the installation and housekeeping after the job was completed. Ben A."

"We had an estimate to replace our upstairs A/C unit that was roughly 12 years old from a large company that had been servicing our home for over 7 years. Gary replaced it AND the main level for less than half the price we were quoted - he saved us over 15K for 2 units! He drove more than 3 hours round trip two days in a row and worked incredibly hard - I was so impressed with his quality and attention to detail. His level of service and commitment was amazing. I could tell from the start, he was honest and he is very passionate about serving his customers. The whole process was so easy and so much less stressful dealing with the "big boys!" I would highly recommend Kubik Heating and Air and Gary!!!"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Howard, GA

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.
