"First Alfano Mechanical Inc. came to my home, said they would do the job and called the office told them to get me on the schedule ASAP. Gave me a price per hour. Well he never called back to this day. Would not recommend them to no one. Job was to HARD for them. Also I had my AC on my worry free with PSEG and they made me take it off because they would not work on my unit in the tight spot that it was installed in my attic 11 years ago. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID: Celestial Air HVAC called when I first contacted Home Advisor and after not hearing back from Alfano(which I would not have hired because they didn t live up to anything he said while here), I called Celestial(and so glad I did) and they came the next day, said it was a hard job and a mess but nothing they couldn t handle. Anthony and Gus came the next day worked their butts off and I have my central air conditioning working right after 11 years. Great price and did over and above what was told to me in the beginning. I would recommend them to everyone and give them a 5 *****. We are very Happy People now. 👍👍😊😊"

"Ray's HVAC responded quickly to my request to repair my furnace, which could not start this year. They were able to find and fix the real cause of the issue - a bird net in the PVC pipe which blocked the air flow, and made my furnace is working again!"

"I was in desperate need of an AC unit repair and Kyle came to the rescue. Iâ ve owned my home since 2019 and have been looking for and honest and reliable AC technician. Iâ ve used a couple of other technicians but Kyle will be my go to moving forward. He kept me informed of everything he was doing and educated me on how my unit should be running. He even gave me info for what filters I should be purchasing to help my unit run efficiently. He gave me several options with regards to repairs and I went with the higher priced option because it was so reasonable and I didnâ t want to cut corners. I will be scheduling my routine maintenance with him for the summer and winter. Iâ m so happy I finally found an AC technician I can rely on. I highly recommend him."

"Had an "A/C tune up" done to an old central air system. Guy was really knowledgeable, walk me thru the inspection, and was really thorough. I feel like the A/C tune special is a bit misleading. Yeah they check the unit but any small repair that needs to be done is extra. Also person had to reschedule from a Sat to Sun appointment and was 3 to 4 hours late on the Sunday appointment. I get it's the busy season. However, I would hire again and recommend to others. They seem honest about the work which is rare for any job."

"Peter was awesome. He replaced both my heating and cooling components and explained step by step what the work entailed, provided additional details on how the HVAC system works and what to do to take preventative maintenance measures so the system runs more efficiently and lasts longer.. He even corrected errors from the previous contractor at no extra cost and he was the most economical quote I received to begin with. Would absolutely recommend him for any of your HVAC needs."

"Ross from Adriatic Aire was amazing! He fixed and cleaned out our steam radiator heating system, which had not been maintained properly by the previous home owners, and made it work like new! He explained in great detail how the system works and gave us a lot of helpful advice on how to maintain the system. We will definitely be using Adriatic Aire again!"

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.
