"Scott called to say he was on his way. He arrived on time. White glove service. Super friendly and highly experienced. Took photos of some concerns he found on our furnace. Replaced my filter with one I had purchased previously. Spent extra time going over the details a second time with my wife. Wrote a very detailed quote and they emailed it to us. Overall... I love Tarpy Plumbing Heating and Air!"

"I have used Joshua Jerew for several HVAC related projects to include both residential HVAC system work and commercial refrigeration equipment service. He is always on time, provides me with reasonable estimates, and has proven to be very honest in doing what he says he will do, which so far has always been the correct diagnosis and service necessary."

"The carpets looked nice but there were a couple of big dents in walls that I noticed after the workers left, thats why I gave them an overall C. Also, they didn't want to move any furniture and I felt that the charge for the stairs was excessive."

"I was really impressed with Stephan Alanis and his team from start to finish while they replaced my old HVAC system with a brand new one. It was finished about six months ago, and both units are running perfectly. I felt comfortable trusting Stephan with this project, even though it was my first time doing business with him. Despite never meeting him in person, Stephan was always just a phone call away to answer any questions or concerns I had. His pricing was super competitive, and the products he recommended have been working great so far. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for HVAC services—he and his team really know their stuff!"

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.
