"Best price for unit and installation of the companies I looked into, but customer service left something to be desired. Took a very long time to get someone out to install the new filter set up at the air intake, with poor communication on their part. That part of the job was done poorly and had to be redone at my insistence. Also had the red warning light come on. Called about that and no follow through. Again. Really wanted to like these guys, but unimpressed with the experience."

"I would hire these guys in a heart beat again. Between the project staff and the installers. They were quick, responsive, answered all of my questions, guided me in a direction to suit my families needs for proper hearing and air conditioning. They beat other quotes. And at this point, even if they didn t. I would ve hired them again. They fixed Incorrect installations from another well known company and didn t charge me. They properly reassemble everything that had to be taken apart to access the furnace. Which was in a crawl space. And it was a tighttt fit. Family owned and they didn t try selling me on things I didn t need. Bravo to them."

"My wife was driving our 1999 Volvo. The cooling light came on and there was an odd smell in the car. She pulled in a parking lot and called me and AAA to have it towed to Turn Key Auto Service. We had used them before. They had treated us well. They have always showed real concern for us, repaired our car promply and charged us a fair price. They got right on it. They had the heater coil replaced in no time. We left the car at thier shop over the weekend to let the carpet dry. we picked it up Monday. We could not be more pleased with the job they did. I don't think we will ever take our car anyplace else!

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.
