"When my air conditioning stopped working, I first contacted a different HVAC company and the technician made the assessment that the compressor was shot and in need of replacement. They recommended the option of going with a completely new AC unit. I decided to get a second opinion from Shavitz (having seen their sticker on some of the AC units in my building). Cornelius from Shavitz confirmed the initial diagnosis and the estimates that the project manager, Lou, subsequently quoted me were very much in line with what I received from the other company. About $200 more for a comparable AC model, but given what I read about the level of quality Shavitz brings, I decided to go forward with using Shavitz to perform the replacement of my air conditioner. Scheduling the appointment with Chris was a breeze. The day the work was scheduled to be performed, the installation team, Mike D and Mario, arrived exactly on time and quickly got to work. They were professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about what they were doing. I especially appreciated how thorough they were in the installation and testing of the system. The AC units are on the rooftop of the condo building so there is a long distance between the AC unit and the furnace/AC coil in my condo. Because of this, it took a bit of time to flush the lines, fill with the refrigerant, and test it to make sure it was working as expected. Being a hot day and a Friday, it would have been easy for them to test it to a point where it was “good enough”. Due to the thoroughness of their testing they found an issue in the lines that they were able to fix. While this added time to an already long day, they explained to me what they were doing and the importance of it. All in all, I was very impressed with Mike and Mario’s level of skill and pride they have in their craft. I will absolutely be using Shavitz exclusively going forward for my air conditioning and heating work, and highly recommend them."

"The technician came out yesterday, June 5th and did a diagnosis on my air conditioner as there was a significant cooling disparity between the upstairs and downstairs of our two story townhome. I was expecting to possibly replace the A/C as it is getting older. However, the technician stated the AC is in good working condition and that there was a slight leakage factoring into the cooling discrepancy. That was a much less expensive repair or fix vs. replacing the whole equipment. I appreciated his honesty, time spent communicating the issue with me and professionalism. I would definitely use All Temp Heating and Air Conditioning again and recommend them to anyone dealing with air conditioning issues."

"Home Comfort Systems in Bolingbrook is a winner. Steve the owner serviced the account from the beginning to end. I received the best quality installation and pricing available. Please note that American Standard furnaces and air conditioners are rated number one by Consumer Reports. I did my homework. Enough said, you will not be disappointed with your purchase from this company, I'm not. No risk here.

"I have lived in my home for over 23 years and have used several different Heating and Air companies thru the years... I needed service in Sept 2018 and had various coupon prices of $39 and $49 for an A/C tune up and was about to chose on of them but decided to check Angie's list for a review or google for the coupon companies. That is when I found American Family HVAC and started to read their reviews.. For some reason, I decided to use this company even tho the cost was a bit more money and boy am I ever happy that I went with my hunch. Sometimes it is NOT always about the money. I was really looking for an A/C furnace company that I could count on and use regularly. Not only was the repair gentleman that came out, on time and very thorough and professional but he spent a long time and I feel that I received the most thorough tune up that I have ever had. Josh, the service tech was just a delight and the best part was that this company has a membership contract that I was able to purchase. It is a small monthly charge monthly and . I get 2 free tune-ups a year included in the monthly fee for NO charge and if I need any service work I get 20% off of the charge and same day service...all for only $12.95 a month. What a wonderful idea and I cannot express how happy I am with this choice. It is a win-win deal for me and the company. I am a very happy camper with my choice of this company."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Oak Lawn, IL

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.
