"Fantastic company from start to finish! The gentleman who sold us the furnace, their salesman, Alex, was upfront in getting us the best price, along with a 10 yr parts and labor warranty included! The price for the furnace and installation was great, and they guaranteed apples to apples to meet any other companies cost. They offer a $100. fee if we found anyone to do it cheaper, with the same offer. They were able to schedule the intallation quickly, and did a great job intalling it. I would highly recommend using this company for your heating and air conditioning needs. Great company! Great prices! Great work! You won't be disappointed using Horizon Services! Take care....."

"I recently had a new HVAC system installed, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They took the time to explain all my options, helped me choose the right system for my home, and answered every question clearly. The installation was completed on schedule, and the crew kept everything clean and organized throughout the process. The system runs quietly and has already made a huge difference in comfort and energy efficiency. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to install or replace their HVAC system. Excellent service, fair pricing, and top-quality workmanship!"

"We had Mr. Portillo Install an air conditioner in my sons apartment. He came right over, knew exactly what to do, installed the parts and put the air conditioner in the window. I live in Los Angeles, and my son lives in Baltimore. I found Mr. Portillo on the Angi site, and not knowing anything about his skills or business, he contacted me, let me know this is something he could do, so I asked him to do the job. Mr. Portillo was EXCELLENT, great ay customer services, and took care of business. I highly recommend Mr. Portillo as highly skilled and a great person to do business with!!"

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.
