"We couldn’t be happier with J&J air and highly recommend them. Our air went out late last Friday afternoon (6/21/24) just as this latest heat wave started. They sent someone out within the hour to check it out. They confirmed what we were thinking, which was we needed a new unit. Joe Deluca showed up on Monday morning 6/24/24) and went over everything in detail with us, laying out all of our options so we could make an educated decision. Joe was able to get the unit ordered for us and get the installation scheduled for first thing Wednesday morning 6/26/24. The installers were on time , very professional and polite. Joe also showed up that morning to confirm the installers were there and make sure everything was going ok. After the install was done, Jesse showed up to go over the new thermostat with me and to make sure everything was working properly and everything was cleaned up. After Jesse left Joe Deluca showed up one last time to confirm everything was done properly and that we were satisfied with the job. We can’t say enough good things about J&J Air; from start to finish everyone we came in contact with was top-notch!"

"I made an appointment to have duct work replaced due to what I thought was an animal that had gotten underneath and destroyed everything. When they arrived I was told there was way more involved than I thought. I could see by the pictures and after removing some of the under pinning exactly what they were talking about. They could have patched it up and i could have paid them and I would have never known any better, which is exactly what had happened from a previous company. I being very skeptical on who to hire as this is my vacation home but I could not have made a better decision!! After being told of my situation I made the decision to go ahead and replace all the duct work and figured since things had changed it would be the next week before it could be completed , no they were there the next day. They worked through several rain downpours and awful heat but everything and completed,cleaned up and I had great air once again. Randy and Christina actually came by during the job and it was so nice to meet them!! They could have done a patch job and left with me thinking everything was great but they did not do that. It is so good to know there are decent and honest people you can trust like Randy and Christina Byrd and the guys they have working for them. I was told "mam I just can't patch this up and leave you with it , I just wouldn't feel right and I would hate for anybody to do that to my sister or mother". This whole job was started and completed in 1 day. They cleaned and hauled away everything and I was told he would check in with me in a few days to be sure everything was good!! I could not have been more pleased with the crew and the work they did! I would recommend AIR TIME to everyone! I need to mention the cost...I had another estimate done before choosing anyone for the job and after everything was said and done Air Time saved me hundreds of dollars!! I couldn't have made a better decision!! Air Time is the best."

"Pricing was fair. The quality of the new unit is very good. They came when they promised, and did a very professional job of the installation. They were very conscious of not damaging floors and other objects in the condo. I'm very satified with the work."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Murrells Inlet, SC

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.
