"Seven of us arrived at the house from Portland on Christmas afternoon and there was no heat. Understandably, it took 3 phone calls but a repairman came at 10:30 pm (on Christmas!) and tweaked something to give us temporary heat until a new furnace could be installed a few days later. They even brought a few space heaters over the following day just in case the short term fix didn't work. Installation went well and we have heat!"

"Leon always does an excellent review of our units and I do not worry that he missed something. Leon also told me the over flow blue thing on the water heater needed to be checked. Leon called the office, a gentleman called back a few minutes later and set an appointment for the next day. GREAT customer service, that’s why I recommend you whenever asked. Patty"

"We had both duct cleaning and Aero sealing done a week ago. We are EXTREMELY pleased with both the results and the professionalism from Home Heating & Cooling. The results of the duct sealing amounted to an 86% reduction in leaks. We suspected that there were problems with the ducts including dirt and holes, but had no idea that they were in such bad shape. They showed us before and after pictures and to our surprise, found construction nails and materials inside the ducts! We notice less dust in the house and look forward to a lower heating and air conditioning bill. Home Heating & Cooling installed a ductless air conditioner for our upstairs great room. It is quiet, efficient, and uses a remote control. We set the temperature that we want and it does the rest. Finally, we will have comfortable temps upstairs this summer. Thank you to a great team of competent, thorough people!"

"When I first called to make an appointment I expected to leave a message but someone answered right away and I booked a day and date in no time. So that was great! The day of the service Jacob called to say he would be running late and he arrived in the time frame he said. He explained everything very thoroughly. I have a dog and a cat so I had to keep an eye on them while he did all that work because there would be a back door left open where the hose would be fed through. It took him about 2-3 hours. He also explained and showed me how to clean the air filters. He also showed me a few items that he found while cleaning the ducts. I purchased the service through Angie's list and I also paid an extra $25 per bathroom fan to be cleaned. I would use their services again."

"It went well. We will use his services again, if necessary."
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.
