"I needed quick service on a 45 year old hot water boiler in a 1938 house I recently purchased. While I could get the pilot light lit, nothing I did could get the boiler to fire (water was circulating).
On Wednesday I contacted Pelletier Mechanical as Gary (the owner) had been out giving me estimates on the various repairs and modifications I wanted to make. While Gary was out of the office training (again), Laura his admin arranged for Bill to come out on Friday. She provided an estimated cost (right on) and a 2 hour window.
Bill showed up on time and after a brief discussion get right to work. Bill spent about 15 mins. systematically determining why the flame would not light. He discovered that there the gas was not making it to the main control valve. He reset the safety shut off valve and the problem was solved. He then checked all the radiators to make sure that hot water was making it through out the house. After we determined that the upstairs radiators were not getting hot, Bill checked the water pressure and determined that the pressure was insufficient to fill the upstairs radiators in "real time". He suggested that the culprit was the 45 year old water valve and pressure release valve which being cast iron tend to corrode and clog in time. He proposed a replacement solution and priced it out, and offered to pick up the parts and replace the valves that afternoon. I decided to wait a few weeks so I could consider replacing the entire boiler.
While we were waiting on the boiler to come up to heat, Bill and I walked through the basement looking at the existing plumbing, tracing the water flow path and discussing the possibility of replacing the hot water tank with a tankless unit. (The hot water run is about 60-65 feet from HW tank to kitchen, bathrooms, etc.) Bill, like Gary, is knowledgeable and informative.
I will have Pelletier Mechanical back to do more work on the house."

"H L Bowman is by far one of the best service companies that I have dealt with. I got a call that the technician was on the way to my house. George showed up and got right to work. Found my problem and explained to me the best way to fix my issue. They did not try to sell me on any pricier fixes. George showed me what he could offer and explained what would be my best option. He was knowledgeable, informative, and explained everything so that I would understand what was going on. I am definitely going to be using them for all my heating and air conditioning needs. Top notch company. Would recommend to anyone needing this kind of help."

"This was my first time using Omni Mechanical and I am very pleased in their service of my oil fired boiler. I had recently purchased my home and had very little knowledge of any prior maintenance of the boiler. Other than knowing its an older unit I didnt know what to expect of the internal components when it was opened up and inspected. The techs were nice enough to let me observe as they were opening up the unit and exposed the internals. So I could see for myself what they were talking about and physically see the condition. They walked me through what they were doing every step of the way. Taking the time to explain parts they needed to change and actually showing me the condition of the older parts as they were changing them. After all work was complete. Everything was left very neat and clean. This by far has been one of my most pleasant encounters with a contractor. I will definitely strongly consider them in the future for any work I need."

"I called in the early evening and David called me back within 5 minutes. I explained the problem with my central AC not working and he was here the next morning. David diagnosed the problem and gave me a very fair price for the repair. He had the part on his truck and had the AC running again within 45 minutes of his arrival. David seems to be one who is genuinely pleased to help you. He was very prompt with his arrival time and extremely courteous. He definitely has a new customer for AC and plumbing work."

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.
