"Unfortunately, the air went out on Memorial Weekend. They came out quickly and diagnosed the issue but could not replace the part as it had to be ordered. Once the part came in they fixed it promptly. Here is the why I will only use them again; Rob, the tech helped me put a window air conditioner in a window to help protect my dog that has a heart condition and must be cool. He did not ask for any additional money yet invested about 30 minutes of his time to help. You do not see that occur very often any more. Thank you Rob, especially from Duke."

"The company convinced us to sign an annual agreement in December 2015 when they performed a "coupon" periodic inspection on the gas furnace. By late May they had not called to perform a periodic inspection on the central split-system air conditioner. Noticed system was running longer than usual and not removing humidity very well. Called to schedule the periodic inspection and advised them system had iced up earlier that week. Technician found refrigerant pressure was low and added 4 pounds R-22 at $110 per pound - system held 6.5 pounds total. He stated he could also add a sealer if I wanted - of course I wanted! Stated the sealer would surely take care of any leaks - additional $95. Ten days later system was not cooling well or removing humidity. Called another company referred to by a friend. That tech looked for a leak in the evaporator coil by spraying with soapy water. With none found he followed the liquid line toward the condenser unit and found the line was discolored in two places where it was laying directly on the ground - furnace and coil are in crawl space - and took photos to show me. Found the leak was in the liquid line. He stated he was not supposed to add R-22 refrigerant to a system with known leaks - for environmental reasons - and we asked for quotes to replace the liquid line and evaporator coil since it was 16 years old and quite corroded - I had also read that particular coil had historically suffered from corrosion issues. As the repair came out at 40 percent of the cost of a new system we went with a new system with a SEER rating 4 points higher than the existing system. I ended up very disappointed that the first company, 1) had not scheduled a periodic check of the air conditioner by June 1; 2) charged more than twice the per pound price for R-22 refrigerant than the second company quoted, and 3) never bothered to look for a known leak in the system. I must add that the technician was very nice and answered a ton of my questions but I believe he put too much confidence in the sealer and should have looked for the known leak before doing anything else."

"I would highly recommend Hometown Heating and Air LLC. Zach and Harrison were very professional and there work ethic Is unmatched. They were very helpful in helping us make decisions in what systems would be best based on our needs. They explained the process and there communication was on point. They went out of there way and worked long hours to get our new HVAC system installed in a very timely manner. My wife and I were very impressed and canâ t say enough to thank them for all that they have done. Our system has been installed for a couple of months now and we have seen a significant drop in our power bill. We had them install the Bosch 18.5 Seer and it has been awesome. It exceeds all our expectations. Thank you Hometown Heating and Air for making this such a positive experience. Highly Recommend!ed!!!"

"I had an outstanding experience with Verlander’s. Jason and Trevor were great! They were prompt, professional, incredibly kind and very affordable from start to finish. I reached out on a Monday, and they were at my home the very next day. They quickly diagnosed the issue with my HVAC system and fixed it the same day, which was such a relief. Their efficiency, professionalism, genuine kindness and fair pricing truly set them apart. It’s rare to find a company that delivers this level of service, and I’m genuinely grateful. I’ll absolutely continue doing business with them in the future, and I’ve already started referring friends and family. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in New Kent, 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.
