"Would not give me a signed receipt. As it is, the only proof I have is the e-mail from Luis stating that the invoice had been paid. And the e-mail wasn't even signed. So, I guess I have no legal proof of service except maybe the cancelled check on my monthly bank statement. But, otherwise, did good work -- spending almost 2 hours working on the roof in the hot sun."

Customers say: Quick response
"Chris was quick to respond, very reasonably priced, efficient, and worked late to get the job done. Was impressed that he showed up and returned when he said he would and went out of his way to make things work. Itâ s refreshing to find someone who is not just capable, but fair, honest and reliable, as well. I would highly recommend Right Choice Plumbing without any reservations and will use them again for any plumbing or HVAC needs."
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.
