"I had another company diagnose a compressor failure on my 9 year old heat pump. I decided to get a new heat pump. After calling around and getting quotes I went with Fresh Air because they sell name brand products and were very responsive and punctual unlike all other companies I got quotes from. The technician was on time and kept me involved in the install/testing process. It's rare to have a good experience from the service industry, but Fresh Air delivered with no surprises."

"We hired Smarthome to insulate our attic. They were not the lowest bid, but their expertise, particularly about the various insulation options, convinced us to go with them. And I am so very glad that we did. Not only did they do everything we expected in terms of insulating our attic, they noticed that the duct work in our air conditioning system had not been properly sealed. We had been wrestling with the unit's inability to cool our house for years, and our regular HVAC provider told us that this was the best the system could do. In fairness, we have an old house and a complex air conditioning set up. Smarthouse both diagnosed the problem and undertook the necessary fixes for a very reasonable price. As a result our house is markedly cooler and our electrical bill has come down a bit. This is a great company. They know what they're doing and they genuinely seem to care."

"I called, not knowing what was wrong with my air conditioning. They actually gave me a few possibilities, over the phone, one of which turned out to be the Culprit. No charge for the advice, they could have easily rip me off. But didn't. They won't give u the run around, and tell you somethings wrong when it's actually not."

"Bernie is incredible- no, really. I could not have asked for a better technician today. After a month of no A/C and getting the run around with our warranty company (besides the point), Bernie showed up and saved the day. He took the time to really explain the problem, the steps he took to fix it, and some helpful tips for the future. After repairing our AC unit he walked around the house upstairs and down in the basement to show me how to control the force of air coming out of the vents. He is so friendly and so great. We will definitely reach out to him again in the future if we ever have issues. Thank you Bernie."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Saint Louis, MO

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.
