"I made an appointment to have duct work replaced due to what I thought was an animal that had gotten underneath and destroyed everything. When they arrived I was told there was way more involved than I thought. I could see by the pictures and after removing some of the under pinning exactly what they were talking about. They could have patched it up and i could have paid them and I would have never known any better, which is exactly what had happened from a previous company. I being very skeptical on who to hire as this is my vacation home but I could not have made a better decision!! After being told of my situation I made the decision to go ahead and replace all the duct work and figured since things had changed it would be the next week before it could be completed , no they were there the next day. They worked through several rain downpours and awful heat but everything and completed,cleaned up and I had great air once again. Randy and Christina actually came by during the job and it was so nice to meet them!! They could have done a patch job and left with me thinking everything was great but they did not do that. It is so good to know there are decent and honest people you can trust like Randy and Christina Byrd and the guys they have working for them. I was told "mam I just can't patch this up and leave you with it , I just wouldn't feel right and I would hate for anybody to do that to my sister or mother". This whole job was started and completed in 1 day. They cleaned and hauled away everything and I was told he would check in with me in a few days to be sure everything was good!! I could not have been more pleased with the crew and the work they did! I would recommend AIR TIME to everyone! I need to mention the cost...I had another estimate done before choosing anyone for the job and after everything was said and done Air Time saved me hundreds of dollars!! I couldn't have made a better decision!! Air Time is the best."

"Recently, purchased a new home and was not happy with the air flow from the hvac system. Two field techs came out to look at my 20 year old system and found that the ductwork was improperly installed creating an airflow problem within the entire house. A new ductwork system was designed, adding a 2nd zone and a bypass trunk to the system. The 5 person crew arrived first thing in the morning, evaluated the system and got right to work. Before I knew it the old system was removed and the new system was being installed. Originally, I was told that it could take 2 days to remove and install the new system, but the crew did the entire job in 12 hours! Yes, they crew as onsite until 9:00 PM! The newly installed system was designed for my specific attic space and the new design makes far more sense and will provide a better flow of air throughout the home with the addition of the second zone. Thank you to everyone that was involved in this project! I look forward to many years of comfort!"

"We couldnâ t be more pleased with this company. We had several problems going on with the HVAC in the house we just bought. We had 4 companies come out to address and to work up quotes. One Hour really impressed us with their solutions and with how soon they could install, which was the next morning. Others were 2 weeks. Every person we dealt with was very pleasant and professional."

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.
