"Robert B came early and advised me that the furnace needed replacing because of the age. All the sheet medal work was done on site. He ask me how did I change my air filter. So while he was doing the sheet medal work , he fabricated a sliding door to make it easy access to replace the air filter. Robert had an assistant Gin that was excellent in his workmanship. If I had any problem with my furnace these are the guys I will call First. They did a outstanding Job."

This company doesn't try to sell you something you don't need, but are fully focused on the problem and customer service. I learned a lot from David about the American Standard System we have, so I can better properly spot problems to take care of, and when to call for service. SeaTown is now a go-to company for our home, rentals, and recommendations to family and friends."

"Honest, competitively priced, close attention to detail and great customer service. After careful analysis of what my needs were and within my price range, a Ductless Heat pump was installed. This system has reduced my heating bill over $100 a month. I love it! I highly recommend this company."
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.
