"The work done by Hunter heating and cooling was exceptional! The work was completed in just 1 day. They replaced our old heating and air conditioner and there was little to no affect to our household life. I would completely recommend Hunter heating and cooling to anyone needing help with their heating and cooling systems."

Customers say: Quick response
"I first began working with Affordable Air Care back in the summer of 2019, when I finally had enough of living in a home without air-conditioning. Roy has been such a pleasure to work with from the initial consultation, to the fast and efficient installation of the unit. He, Vernon, and his lovely wife are always so nice to work with and are all dedicated to taking care of their customersâ needs. As a single mom, being a home owner can feel overwhelming, so I have a very high appreciation for being able to trust in a company that will help me make the right decisions for my situation. Not only do I trust their work, but the prices are always very affordable and come with top-quality service. Do not hesitate to call Affordable Air Care for any of your homeâ s heating and/or cooling needs!"
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.
