"They installed central heating and air in our home in 2025. They were efficient, did a excellent clean up, and friendly. They checked in a week after to make sure we were satisfied with the system and if we had any questions. We are extremely satisfied with the new system. The controls are easy to work and the system is very quiet and efficient."

"Attic was air gap sealed first, before added blown insulation. I immediately noticed that the interior stayed cooler during the day without a/c. Jesse the owner was great with estimating and evaluating need. No pressure, just honest info. He was on site during job documenting and sharing progress. Very impressed with service and quality."

"Huge thank you to Chris at Alt AC for getting our air conditioning going again. It was absolutely wonderful walking into our house and feeling a chill after 3 weeks of record heat. We know of at least 5 houses who lost their A/C during these heat waves. If you need A/C service, we recommend Alt AC. Chris is professional, communicates well, and wants to earn your business."

"it went exactly as explained in their proposal. They made multiple trips back to compete the jobs since some parts/materials had to be ordered.
They removed and installed a faucet and instant hot water dispenser underneath the preparation island sink. It required removing and re-installing the disposal and drain pipe so there would be space to remove and replace the two items mentioned.
They also built a 25 foot "floating wall" to enclose the upstairs, exposed, office area. The recommendation to use sliding closet doors was great since the wall blocked out the upstairs windows. By sliding open one or more of the four closet doors, outside air can flow through. Since the windows faced east, by closing the sliding doors, it blocked out the early morning sun.
We are very happy with the work performed, especially the floating wall."

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.
