"The price was the best out of multiple quotes, and Derek was super responsive and a nice guy. It was a very quick turn around from time of quote to being finished with all new air conditioning/heating units! He and his team were polite, and got the job done quickly! I definitely recommend them."

"I had an excellent experience with Stephanie, Tim, and Spencer during the installation of my mini split system. From the very beginning, they were professional, friendly and communicative. They took the time to explain how the installation process would work and made sure I understood all the benefits of swtiching to the system. I felt well informed and supported. Since the installation, the system has made a huge difference in my hosuehold. The units are quiet, efficient, and give me the ability to control the temperature in all rooms in my household. Not only does it keep the space comftorable by replacing AC's but I've noticed the air quality and drop in my electricity bills are better. I"m grateful for the work this team did and would recommend them toothers. I trust them completely and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future again. Thank you!"

"I am absolutely thrilled with Domination's Service. A highly skilled plumber (today Tristen) comes quickly, determines exactly what the problem is, recommends the best products to solve the problem, then the service manager calls with pricing so there are no surprises, and Tristen does an excellent job of fixing the problem and installing new products. I have had this company come a couple of times and I am always completely satisfied with the excellent work they do. I highly recommend Domination."

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.
