"Gerald was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about the type of system that would best fit our house and worked with us on what we wanted. Gerald started the job quickly and was only delayed due to other contracting issues. He was very patient working with us in between new siding and drywall and made sure he was available when the other contractors were through with other issues. Gerald?s work was neat and tidy. And pricing was definitely fair. We high recommend The Air We Breathe for your heat and air needs!"

"This company if great. Our central air quit in July and after checking the breaker and the fuse box, I knew that the unit need professional repair so I looked this company up on the internet, called them and after explaining the problem, Kelly Dean came the same day and repaired the unit. Their service is professional and their price was very reasonable. I would recommend them to any one who wants honest, professional service."

"The technician arrived on time and was extremely professional and polite - to the point that he asked if it was OK to plug in his cell phone charger! He took his time and ensured that everything was hooked up properly. Upon completion, he took the time to answer all of my questions (I had a lot since I had originally intended to install it myself - glad I didn't). He walked me through the installation, the hookups, and demonstrated changing the filter. I would definitely hire them again in the future."

"My Mother is 91 years old and her air conditioner went out. One of your technicians, JOE BIGO came and gave my Mother a estimate on a new unit. Joe was very polite and very professional. Joe went out of his way to work with us so my mother can get another air conditioner unit. You all are coming next Thursday (20th) to install her unit. Excel is the only ones that my husband and I have service our air and heating in our home. We are always very satisfied with yals service. Thank you Joe for coming out and working with us for my Mother. She is excited about getting her new unit.My Mother also thanks you Joe.We really appreciate every thing you did. You made her day. THANK YOU SO MUCH JOE."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Luray, VA

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.
