"My wife and I just had Joyce Cooling and Heating install duct work, air conditioning unit (Lennox) as well as a ductless mini split in our lower level. We received three bids for the project and selected Joyce for several reasons including, the salesman (Abe) that helped us and his level of responsiveness and consistent communication. We also liked the brands that Joyce partners with and installs - Lennox and Mitsubishi and from my research are the two best brands on the market. Our positive experience continued after we made the selection to hire Joyce for this large (4 day) project. They scheduled us in within days of making the decision and showed up early the first day (big bonus points in my book). The caliber of professionalism, courteousness, thoroughness and communication was present in every aspect of their work and across all of their employees. After each day they cleaned the work area and made sure it was left the way they found it. They completed the job earlier than expected and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Each employee we interacted with at Joyce was polite, informative, friendly and knowledgeable. We have shared our positive experience with everyone we have spoken to about our recent home improvement and am a firm believer in voting with my dollars for businesses that deserve it and Joyce has won our vote. Keep up the great work guys! Well done Abe, Tyler, Harry & Bob!! Thank you!"

"I looked at a number of different options and they had the best pricing and they also specialize in just doing central air. So they were also sort of a plumber and gas fitter, anything like that, and so they really specialized in what I was looking for. So that is sort of their core business. They were good and they did a very nice, clean job. The house was built in 1901 and so they did a great job of removing the old radiators and radiant based heat systems and replacing it with a new central air set up."

"We had been considering replacement of our ancient, dust-collecting, rusty-looking, hot water radiators which heated our home well, but somewhat unevenly, in our 1929 Dutch Colonial. We also wanted to move away from window air conditioning units that had to be put in and taken out each season and finally move into the world of central air. I looked into conventional central a/c and heating and the quotes I got were more expensive or equal in price and because the required large ductwork would practically eliminate my already pathetic closet space and be much, much more invasive. So HVSD was definitely the only viable way for us to proceed, if at all. I remembered hearing about HVSD at a wedding years ago from my husband's colleague who had used Climate Technologies for installations in 2 different homes and he couldn't stop talking about how great it was. (Since then he's had it done in a 3rd home, too.) Fast forward to 2008 when I've finally saved enough money to consider having the work done. I asked my husband to get the name of this contractor and it was Don Martin at Climate Technologies. I contacted them in mid-April of 2008 and Steve Martin came out within a day or so. I signed a contract at the end of April and they came to do the job in early May 2008. Although I had good recommendation on which to base this decision, I was reluctant to do the whole house all at once, because I still worried about the potential for noise/loudness of the HVSD and if we would be happy, which is why I only contracted for the upper floor. I wanted a soup to nuts job (removal of my aforementioned humongous radiators, electrical, central heat and a/c, air filtration for my child with seasonal allergies, etc.). The work took a day or so longer than I thought it would, but that can be partly attributed to them not doing something invasive, which they avoided by thinking outside the box--in this particular case, running a drainage pipe so it would flow into my gutter, instead of a quicker, uglier solution. I did not submit this report earlier because although we used our a/c over the summer, I wanted to test my heat during the first winter, too, so I could give a thorough report. At the end of the summer I was satisfied enough to schedule Phase 2 (ground floor/lower level) for the fall. We are very happy with our HVSD heating and cooling system and the work performed by Climate Technologies."

"We found Brian and Josh off of Angies list. When you walk into a large project not knowing the company, you hope it goes well. Well we are very pleased. They converted our oil furnace to gas and put in a new water tank. Both my husband and I are very pleased with this company and we will be calling them when we put in the air conditioner. If your looking for people that are very knowledgeable as well as friendly then give them a call, you won't be disappointed"

"I’ve been a satisfied customer of Druziakos HVAC for 17 years, so when I found out I needed my gas furnace and central air replaced I didn’t look to anyone else. Everyone in the office was very helpful with the Mass Save program and process. They also submitted my rebate applications and helped with the warranty info. The work was done when scheduled and very quickly. The technicians were polite and answered all my questions."

"Repairs were excellent and thorough "even well documented". The tech found units low on coolant. He identified and repaired multiple refrigerant leak points. I have dealt with many HVAC contractors over the years and Freedom Air Mechanical is one of the best. I highly recommend."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Manchester, NH

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.
