"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 feel I was overcharged for installation of an air vent under my sink. I was charged over $400 for what looked to me like a $250 job max. I also do not like being charged amounts that include TV advertising costs because I have no use for any TV advertising. Otherwise they did good work and gave me valuable advice."

"Mr. Handyman picked up my call immediately and got the work scheduled for 2 days later. Since they knew that the dry wall would need a follow up appointment to sand it and give it another coat, they scheduled that meeting as well. Lesley showed up on time, went over the work with me, and got started right away. We decided to leave the outside end of the vent as-is and to plug it with a metal sheet, fill the gap with spray foam insulation, and then patch the drywall. After the work was completed, you can't tell there was ever a large hole in the wall, and we no longer have to worry about any critters trying to get into the house that way or air leaking in/out. The other holes we needed patched turned out great as well. Lesley asked if we needed the patches painted over, but we passed since we're planning on completely repainting our bathrooms in the coming months. The first appointment took around 3 hours and the follow up was probably not even 15 minutes. Overall, I was impressed with how fast Mr. Handyman was able to get the work scheduled and with the work itself. I will definitely consider Mr. handyman the next time I need a job done around the house."

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.
