"Whole gaggle of people showed up at my home on time and ready to go. Removed the old furnace (1977 circa with a pinch of 1989) and the A/C unit, arranged for its removal and proceed to install a new furnace and a/c unit. They spent the whole day getting it in, wiring, and installing the new thermostat. They cleaned up before they left and wore shoe covering when walking through the house. The project manager Rich came by to check on the progress and everything we talked about when he did an estimate happened with no problems. The crew was efficient and knew what they were doing. Rich said Shavitz did not subcontract and everyone was an employee and trained in their job. They were very professional and friendly. Answered any questions I had and I felt very comfortable using them. I called Shavitz to do a 6-month check on the furnace and the service person showed me how to change the air filter and reviewed how to set the thermostat. I was having problems working the thermostat since it was more complicated then old one and I was not able to control the settings via my smartphone. This turned out to be a systemic issue with the manufacturer and has since been corrected via a software update. So far there has been no further problems."

"We are beyond happy with the work and professionalism of Porterhouse Cooling and Heating. I called for an estimate and they were out the next day. Then that same day they were able to get us set up for our work. They began the project only a day later. They truly were amazing to work with and supported us throughout the process. We needed a huge job done, because we switched from all electrical to adding gas to our house along with a furnace, water heater, air conditioner, and all new ductwork. We had multiple obstacles that most people did not want to take on. Porterhouse helped us come up with solutions and were very reasonable. They were extremely hard working and did a great job with our house. We love our new heating and air systems! We also have a new thermostat that is wonderful. I highly recommend them for any heating or cooling needs!"

"We purchased a new central air conditioner and a 2-stage furnace. In addition, they needed to update the air circulation to and from the system, which was nicely done. Needed a little tweaking, and one of the owners came out to perform the simple task himself."

"We were having issues with our current furnace and decided to purchase new equipment versus putting repair money into an obsolete one. Due to the unreliability of the old unit, we wanted the new furnace/AC installed before we went on vacation.  They arrived on time, and completed the work in the time frame promised. All the work was done to the highest quality, and exactly as promised. This work was done on a cold day, and with over a foot of snow around the house, including around the old air conditioner. With the cold temps, we were very happy the total job was done in about 6 hours. The equipment is working extremely well. TR Miller took away all the old equipment, and did a good job of explaining the operation of the new furnace, thermostat, humidifier, and air cleaner. I would highly recommend this company for any heating and cooling work.

"I could not get my furnace to start, so I hired United Heating and Air Conditioning. They were able to get it started with no problem. I have no problems with the service they provided that day. While checking to make sure everything was working properly after starting the furnace, the technician informed me that my air conditioning was not working and that, once it got warmer, they would need to come back out to add freon. They asked me if I wanted to make the appointment for a month or so later and I said that I would call when I needed them to come back. I thought the air conditioner diagnosis was odd because it is only a year or two old. Well, hot weather has officially rolled around and the air conditioner is working 100% fine. Now, I am just left feeling that the company was trying to take advantage of me being a new homeowner and not knowing much about HVAC."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Joliet, 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.
