"After I posted my initial reviews, the owners of Air Temp Service Co. (Mario and Lori) reached out to me, and wanted to make it right. They are a family owned business, and proud of the work they do.We talked about the issues with our interactions with their company. After some additional research, I agree that the Nest Thermostat does need a common wire, and its beneficial that we had it installed. The other issues were due to the technician that was working with us at that time. That technician was removed from the company a few weeks after the work at my house was complete. The technician was responsible for the up charge on service, and pushing us to replace the CPU for our central AC (this should have been communicated as being the worst case scenario instead of the first step to fix the issue).The outside unit which was the main job I contracted Air Temp Service Co. for was installed cleanly and quickly. It was good work. They have also removed the technician who caused my family so much grief. I would say if you are a potential new customer they are worth giving a shot. They will take care of the job, and if you do have an issue they will make it right."

"Excellent! The team worked diligently for 5 days to install a central air system in our old house with Plaster Walls. It was NOT easy, yet they did a fantastic job. They were able to add all ducts to the first floor with out any "chases" or enclosures requiring to be build. And almost none of our first floor lines up with our second floor closets, but they figured it out. Great time and fantastic service. Make sure you get Brandon and Sean. The work their butts off, and ensure your house stays clean (they cleaned up everything after every day - not an easy feat). Cannot say how happy am I with their work!"

"I recently hired Kyle to service my central air conditioner. What a find!!!! I will absolutely hire him again. He is bright, personable and explains every step of his process. You can tell he is passionate about HVAC, and enjoys his work. He was able to quickly evaluate my system and get it back up and running. My system is old and really needs to be replace but Kyle was able to keep in running for another year... Highly recommend this company"

"ABCastello HVAC removed old A/C inside and outside units which were 25 years old from my 2700 sq feet 2 store colonial brick face house. Old units were replaced with new and more efficient units - TRANE 4 ton two stage SEER 17+ ECONET (condenser model RA-1748-AJ2CB, air handler model RH-2T-4821-MEACJA and communicating module Econet STAT model RETS-T601-SYS). Excellent work quality! Fast response! Very reasonable price quote for 10 years parts warranty and 5 years labor and service warranty! Honest and hard working person! All work was done in a couple of days (including old unit removal)! I am very happy and a very satisfied customer of his service for life!!! A+++++"

"My wife and I moved into our home about two years ago and inherited a very old hot water heater (12+ years old) and boiler (25+ years old).  They were working fine, but they were on their last legs and could go at any time.  More importantly, 2 of the 3 upstairs bedrooms were always cold, little heat reached those rooms through the baseboard radiators, and we wanted to see what could be done to get it fixed.  This was very important to us since one of those rooms was going to be used as a nursery the following month.
I spoke to Dave on the phone who set up an appointment for the next day to investigate.  He assessed the water heater and boiler, letting me know that they were currently working fine, explained how it worked, and that the boiler was missing a safety feature that is now required in newly installed boilers (I think it was something like an expansion tank?).  He explained it very well, I could tell he knew what he was talking about.  To solve the cold bedrooms riddle, Dave walked around the basement, looking at the exposed pipes and where they were headed.  Then he went to the rooms on the first floor, noting the locations of the radiators.  Finally he went to the 2nd floor to see where the rooms were and the radiator locations.  He found that the rooms were connected just fine, but that they were on the end of a long loop of rooms being heated.  The 2 bedrooms were located on the same zone as the entire first floor, and as a result, were not being heated effectively.  In addition, the thermostat was on the first floor, meaning once the desired temperature was reached on the first floor, the system shut down, leaving the 2nd floor in the cold.  To fix, he recommended adding a third zone by reconnecting the 2nd floor pipes in the basement directly to the boiler and connecting a new 2nd floor thermostat to the boiler so that it would continue working until the 2nd floor rooms were warm.
It should be pointed out that the original intent of my service call was not to get a new boiler, but to fix the heating problem on my 2nd floor.  The 3rd zone solution complicated things with my older boiler, which would have had to be retrofitted with a bigger opening to accommodate the 3 zones.  Dave advised that rather than spending money on those enhancements, which would go to waste if and when my boiler dies, that I may have wanted to consider getting a new boiler.
My wife and I agreed to the work and we scheduled an appointment a few weeks later to get the work completed.  On Day 1, they replaced the water heater and did some work on the 2nd floor piping in the basement.  On Day 2, they replaced the boiler and connected all 3 zones, including the new 3rd zone.  The crew was excellent, putting down drop cloths around the house where they were walking around to drain the radiators and cleaning up behind them.  When the work was completed, Dave walked me around and showed me what they did and gave me a tutorial of how the new thermostat worked.  Everything worked perfectly and the upstairs bedrooms are now nice and warm!
Dave came back a few days later and dropped off the invoice, warranty, and completed rebate details (all I had to do was fill in my address and mail it out).  He also asked how things were going and answered some questions for me, including how I could adjust temperatures in the room using the radiators.
All in all, I think I got my money's worth and would recommend Dawson to my friends and family for any heating work.

"Peter and his crew were great. We replaced our steam heat and window AC units with their LG high-efficiency dual zone (heat and AC) unit. The air is great. The system adds moisture so it is not the DRY air that is typical of electric units. They showed up on time for the work each day. They were ALL very polite, clean, well spoken and knowledgeable. It is rare to be able to say that about ALL of the workers. We have an OLD home, and they worked around every obstacle that was in their way without tearing apart walls, floors, and ceilings like other companies admitted they would indeed have to do. Peter will take the time to explain anything you have questions about, so do not hesitate to ask. My wife and I had many questions and felt much better after asking them. They work with you and have the mentality that it is YOUR house so it should make YOU happy. They are not done after they get paid, they work with you to make sure everything is to your liking even after it is up and running. Oh, and it will NOT cost you more than the competition. In fact, it is just the opposite. So glad we went with them!"

"It was a superb experience. From the visit by Bruce the sales representative to the installation day to the follow-up from Petro, every single person we interacted with was helpful and professional. When Bruce arrived to do the assessment, we spent time going over the heating needs in the house. After a thorough inspection and measurement of the house, we sat down. He showed me a few options, all of which were going to provide good service. I ordered a unit at the end of that meeting. The installation day was just terrific- the entire work crew that showed up were everything I would hope to find: Upbeat, informative, hard-working, focused. The job was finished before end of day as promised. The heater room is now immaculate, with new piping and a new heater. It was like watching a pit crew at a NASCAR race. Everyone had their tasks, they moved carefully but quickly. The materials were all laid out in order, etc. Just a totally professional approach to their work. The crew boss answered any questions I had. The follow-up for a normal inspection of the furnace chimney was scheduled the day after the installation. I’ve gotten calls to insure we are satisfied with the work. Satisfied barely covers it- I am pleased to write this kind of review. Without hesitation I will recommend Petro to friends and family throughout the Philly area. Peter A. Elkins Park"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Mountain Lakes, NJ

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.
