"My AC had stopped working, so I found Allred here on Angie's List. The man who came to diagnose my problem was very good. He figured out the cause and gave me some suggestions (I need a new thermostat). He also cleaned out my outside AC unit/coils. And reminded me to clean my air filters monthly... I am going to hire them again when I get a new thermostat (I want a Nest) and have him install it."

"Brian was responsive, answered all my questions and was a consummate professional. Alex and Colton did an excellent job on my new furnace. He stayed late to work and made sure the job was completed. Their pricing is also competitive. I would reach out to them again for my air condition needs in the future."

"In the beginning the 4 nations of Electric, Plumbing, Heating, and Air lived in harmony. Because Seatown maintained the balance. We have used Seatown for 15 projects now for spanning all their services. When we bought our old home, we had Seatown and other competitors provide quotes on installing HVAC. Their planning, thoughtfulness to our needs, price is why we chose them. As the summer heat spikes, we don’t regret our choice and are glad that our home is an oasis. Every time they come out, we ask for more things to be done than what was agreed to and every time they work to extra hard to get it all done. They go the extra mile in doing some simple projects for free and giving advice on how to lower our costs as new homeowners. I have been able to call or text them about issues or ideas and get advice with out the pressure to buy services. That’s not something you find in just any company. Their staff has always been polite, clean, and diligent about getting the job right the first time. As we continue to fix up our old house, we will be using Seatown for projects large and small and we hope you will as well."

"I highly recommend this company. We have 3 large commercial refrigerators and one wasn't cooling. I called half a dozen places and all I got was rudeness or no one would call me back. HVAC Service Pros were so fast and professional!"

"Great service. We had them install a new hybrid heat pump into our existing forced air system. They went above and beyond in addressing noise issues that arose post installation. They followed up and fixed the issue immediately. Would absolutely recommend"

"The tech discovered that the pipe leading to the expansion tank was corrosive and that there was water in the expansion tank. I was quoted a replacement, including labor, and the expansion tank was replaced. After completion, the tech showed me the inside of the pipe and it was quite disgusting and almost completely clogged. He confirmed my water heater was in excellent condition otherwise. In addition, I happened to have another worker at my home and when I told them what I paid for the replacement, he exclaimed it was a good price."

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.
