Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.

"Vadim, the owner of the company, showed up right on time, explained what was wrong, exactly what he could do to solve the problem with our furnace and what it would cost. He took care of the situation over the course of the next 45 minutes and the furnace is running again as it should. We would highly recommend Cool Air to anyone looking for repairs or advice as to what they their options are for taking care of problems with air conditioning or furnace concerns. Vadim was professional, courteous and efficient."

If you have anything you need done in your home, do not pass go -- just call Dave!  This is the third time I have used him at my  rental property.  I emailed him and told him what needed to be done.  We set a date and he was there AHEAD OF TIME, along with a helper.  He had already fixed the screen door before I got there, since he could access it from the outside.  He either put in new rollers or adjusted the existing ones and cleaned them and the tracks. 

As for the glass door, he had to remove it to look at the rollers.  This was quite a difficult job, as it was difficult to remove, and then the glass was extremely heavy.  But he and his employee did it.  He looked at the rollers and determined that I didn't need new ones, but that the old ones could be cleaned up.  They had gunk all over them and could only be cleaned and greased properly with the door off.  (He actually told me he looked to find new rollers before he came to the house in anticipation of having to replace them, but there were 25 rollers to choose from.  He said if there were 8 or so, he would have purchased them all and returned the ones he didn't need.  Talk about being prepared!)  The door slides great now.

 The kitchen faucet moved at the base.  You could literally move it 180 degrees.  My crack contractor who had remodeled the kitchen months before had not tightened it enough.  Dave had a little trouble with it because he said the nut had rusted a little due to some water on it.  But he was able to tighten it and now it works great.  He also discovered, on his own, that the air gap was loose and tightened it.

He is a pleasure to work with.  He is honest, punctual and efficient.  You can't ask for any more!

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Palomar Mountain, CA

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.
