"They had a lot of experience in the cleaning up our air duct. They were the best. They also cleaned my dryer and chimney very well. I'm comfortable using them again and again. They had a reasonable price."

"Don was excellent. He performed a very thorough inspection of my system and clearly explained all his findings. My furnace is 20 years old, and despite finding many smaller issues he was not pushy about replacing the entire thing. He just gave an honest assessment of the condition. Don correctly found the issue with the blower (bad controller board) and fixed the cause of the failure (plugged drain pipe, causing water damage). After replacing the board the furnace is back up and running. I'll be giving them a call when it is time to replace the furnace."

"I had the AC person out who had been servicing my AC as well as my mom’s for years and he told me the unit was shot and I needed to replace the whole thing. I called Pacific Air this morning, they came at noon, had it up in running 20 minutes later. Only charged me the service fee. While I am sad about the other guy trying to rip me off, I am so happy I called Pacific Air. An honest, fair, professional company."

"Jason Stubbings was awesome! Professional and upfront. He walked me through everything and did a quality job. Withing a couple of minutes he diagnosed our air conditioner root cause (it was throwing the breaker). He had it up and running quickly with a new capacitor. He then checked everything out and topped the freon. Note our air conditioner is a Carrier and is about 23 years old. Never had an issue before. Jason saved us from someone trying to just replace it with a new one. Keep up the great work Jason!"

"So happy with my new furnace! Habib was super responsive and squeezed me in right after our first cold snap, right before Christmas. Did a great job explaining things both about the new unit and the concerns about my old/broken. Very competitively priced. His whole team was professional and respectful. They left my place spotless after the install. Will be contacting ComfAir again when my 30 year old AC inevitably bites the dust!"

"Working with Nate was great. We spoke with consultants from three different companies, but Nate was the only one that brought along a notepad and tape measure to take detailed notes to ensure that the system he would later suggest was actually compatible with our house layout. One of them didn't even bother to go outside and look at the space the air conditioner would ultimately go! He gave his own suggestion for the system he thought we'd like, but also helped us understand all of our options through their company. We ultimately agreed with his opinion, but never felt forced into going that route. I was particularly impressed when he decided to take an extra day or two to consult with his boss and do a second walkthrough to nail down the fine details. Our home wasn't structured with air conditioning in mind, so he wanted to make sure the ducts and vents were planned to get the best result. Nate also stayed in close contact throughout the entire process and even after the install to make sure we were completely satisfied. Which we definitely are."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Lakewood, CO

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.
