"I have used Speer Air for several years for HVAC preventive maintenance at my home. We recently expanded and they installed a package unit to take care of the expansion space. The work was good and they have been back for adjustments as necessary."

"My central A/C return in the attic had a clog and Challenger, which is the best Heating and Air Conditioning Corporation in the Universe, came over a day early and so fast and fixed the clog in the A/C return right away. I love this company. My wife, Debra Jean keeps saying she's a Challenger girl for life and she means it. And the costs are so reasonable and I can't thank you enough for coming over a day early to literally save our lives. If you are in the area where Challenger works, look no further, call them. They are wonderful beyond belief."

"I cannot say how pleased I am on choosing Advanced Heating and Air Conditioning to replace my A/C. The tech who did the work was incredibly professional, and in my opinion, was an expert in the HVAC field. Not only did they replace my A/C with a great product that fits my needs (no upselling, etc) they went the extra mile to ensure that the duct work was repairs, more safety guards were implemented, and he even connected a new humidifier to my Nest device (something I had no connection to previously)! Best of all, the price was very competitive! A certain 'large appliance store' chain wanted more than DOUBLE what I paid. I paid what was in line with the average costs as recommended by Home Advisor."

"I highly recommend engaging Raynor Services for your heating/air conditioning needs. Our technician, Matt, was very friendly, courteous and efficiently diagnosed and planned the remediation of our heating problem. He took the time to point out what was wrong and provided some extra measures we could take, should we decide to, in the future. No sales pitch, no pressure to add additional costs. Extremely satisfied with Raynor’s friendly service, quick response (less than 1.5 hrs from my call) and low costs to return our heating system back in working order. We will continue to call on Raynor Sevices for all of our heating & ac needs."

"Overall, the experience was flawless. We are very happy with our heating system and it has saved us a tremendous amount of money. (David said it would) We are very happy with the 2-zones he provided us, we can keep the main rooms warmer and the addition cooler when no one is in it. Also cost effective. They came the day they said they would and finished on-time.

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.
