"When they came to install the furnace and Central Air Conditioning (CAC), the attic fan having been installed earlier in the morning by a different division, it went fairly smoothly and professionally. At one point I was asked if I had something like a 2 X 4 piece of wood (which they used as a base for a condensation pump), which I did have. I wondered what they would have done if I didn't have it. I also had to ask the workman to cut the drain pipe, going to the pump, shorter. If I hadn't I never would have been able to remove the drain pipe when it was time to clean it. I felt that they should have been smart enough to figure out the correct length, without me noting it. I just found out this past week, after failing county inspection, that they had neglected to check the fuse box to ensure compatibility between the breaker switch and the outside CAC unit. I was over fused, meaning my breaker was significantly higher capacity than required, so it has to be replaced. But to their credit once I notified them they promptly arranged for one of their techs to come out and replace it (he should be here in the morning). Also, it took nearly a month after the equipment was installed before the county came by to do an inspection. That was due, in part, to the person there who handles permitting, being out sick a week with the flu. I don't blame someone for being sick but don't they have someone else who can do that work when someone falls ill? On the plus side I did tell them, before they began, that when they were done I wanted everything explained to me, in terms of operating the equipment and not just leave me a bunch of manuals, and they did exactly that. Overall, I'd say that they are pretty good; maybe even very good. They are part of a national chain so that means they have a lot of resources they can bring to bear. Admittedly, I'm still a bit peeved about nobody getting back to me for a month after the initial estimate so I could even see myself that they are excellent, but I'll need for more time to go by before I can say that. The only thing they are not good at is getting back to you promptly. Whether that is because they overwork their customer service representatives (and the one I dealt with was very nice in person) or just don't care I'm not sure. Sometimes they don't get back to you at all. Admittedly, that might bother me more than others. I will say this. I've lived in this house for over twenty years and now, for the first time, I am truly comfortable here. I should have had the furnace and AC replaced many years ago. Insofar as comfort is concerned everything is great so on that score they did a great job, and given the age of the home and the now obsolete layout of ducts and vents that is not the easiest thing in the world to do, so kudos to them on that score. I'd note that is sort of a preliminary review. I'm signed up to their maintenance plan so I may have more to say in a year or so after I've had a couple of visits."

"Everything turned out well in the end. They had a few problems on the way but they fixed them. We’ve had them out for different things like the furnace, air conditioning and things like that. The main problem this time was, it wasn’t the same person that came out each time. One person made a mistake and then someone else had to come out and fix it. The person who made the mistake should have noticed they were doing something wrong. I don’t know if they were less experienced or if they didn’t pay attention or what it was. When we called and said there was a problem, they did get it corrected. They sent out somebody I guess with more experience and he took care of it. Overall I’m happy and would use them again. They did our furnace several years ago. I haven’t called or compared their prices to anyone. I have talked to friends who have had similar things done and they said the price is probably about right. It wasn’t a very professional way to did it though. I would use their services again in the future."

"It was wonderful. I spent quite a bit more than the big deal and it was for an additional I can't remember what it is called. The air duct cleaning was great and then when we talked about this other addition to the system I went along with it because I have animals in the house and I have bad allergies and I wasn't sure after I got it, if it was good investment since then I have changed my mind, it is an excellent investment and it repaired my air completely and my health is much better from having it. I would use them again."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Montross, 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.
