"I had three companies come to make bids on adding a whole house air filter to my Heating and AC system... Bob Jenson was the only one that actually listened to me, the only one that looked at my whole set-up in the whole house and attic, and therefore the only one that found problems that needed to be fixed and that when fixed would improve the air quality in my home. As a result I do not need the whole house air filter system and I saved A LOT of money. I immediately switched ALL my heating and AC work to Bob Jenson even though I have been with another well-known local company for over 20 years (they did not listen well either, did not see the problems that needed fixing, most of which had been caused by them in the first place, and offered a multi-thousand-dollar bid for a whole house system.) The work included replacing registers in three rooms, encasing a big pipe in my furnace that was shedding fiberglass from insulation right into my air system, and other small issues that are too many to mention here. One week later, in a completely unrelated manner, my AC stopped working. Bob Jenson was able to send someone the next day even though they were booked, and that person first thought I needed a new pump but then discovered a clogged tube that he used tanked oxygen to clear, and he solved my problem. Again, excellent diagnostics and lots of patience. All the Bob Jenson staff and workers whom I have interacted with and who did the work at my house were exceedingly professional, punctual, neat, thoughtful, and smart."

He just offered various repair and replacement solutions and explained pros and cons for each one. We decided to replace our furnace and duct system. Ryan did an excellent Job!! I highly recommend him for your HVAC project."

"My wife and I were throughly impressed with the professionalism of the company and their installation crew. They were meticulous in their work practices and went out of their way to keep us informed of the status of our air conditioning project from planning to completion. It was truly a pleasure dealing with such an honest and ethical HVAC contractor. Michael Santana, along with his talented team of Enrique and Raul more than exceeded our expectations with their outstanding work and customer service. We solicited quotes from numerous contractors and Aire Care Heating and Air Conditioning hands down provided the best cost and installation proposal. If you are looking to replace your HVAC system, I highly recommend that you contact them."

"Arrived at time scheduled.  Very friendly and courteous.  Checked unit for proper operation and condition.  Unit was in good condition and did not require service.  Serviceman showed me where mice had gotten into the unit and recommended sealing holes.  So he applied metal duct tape to the bottom and side panels.  He also showed me how to clean the gas injection nozzles for future maintenance. There was no charge for the visit, but I decided to pay for 1/2 hour of time anyway.

"I emailed HomeAdvisor for a AC repair at about 11pm last night. In the morning I had 3 companies sent to me by HA. I read the reviews and emailed 2. They both got back to me right away, one couldnâ t get to me until next Tuesday, the other called me at 7:45am and asked me what type of problem we were experiencing and that they could be at the house between 8:30-9:30am...that same morning! We said come on down and they were there at about 8:45, completed the repair and checked the system and gone in an hour. The cost was very reasonable. We would hire them again! Thanks Tom!"

"We recently had Same Day Heating and Air Conditioning come to our house to inspect our furnaces before turning the furnaces on during the cooler winter months and they discovered that both units had gas leaks. The system is 20 years old so it wasnâ t a complete surprise although we had hoped to put off replacing them for about 1-2 years. The technician/ inspector was knowledgeable, thorough and professional in showing us pictures of the worn, damaged furnaces (2). He explained the options for repairs and replacement as well as pricing considerations. In the end we decided to have them install 2 new furnaces and 2 new heat pumps to replace our old AC units. The installation was scheduled and completed within a short time frame and done with as little disruption to our home and family as possible. Efficient and neat in their work, I can happily recommend Same Day Heating and AC. I am very reassured knowing that my furnaces and heat pumps can effectively and safely heat and cool our home for our family. Peace of mind is priceless when it comes to protecting your family."

"On initial inspection, they discovered that our old heat registers were the kind with asbestos (house built in the 60's), so they had to sub out the abatement part of the job. Once abatement was complete, the workers showed up each day at the time they said they would arrive. They were all friendly and professional. They kept everything clean. The took pictures in the attic to show me before, during, and after the work. They explained what they were doing and showed me the new ducting they were installing (quiet ducts) and explained the more "up-to-date" way of putting in the duct work than what we had. After the work was complete, we noted that the furnace ran much quieter (due to new ducting), and it ran WAY less often. The house stayed much warmer while running the furnace much less often. Best of all, our gas bill dropped! Now that we're moving into summer, the house seems to be staying cooler on these warm days. We don't have A/C so we're hoping the new insulation will keep the house cooler as the days continue to warm up. Very happy with the company and all the work they did. I would recommend them!"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Poway, 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.
