"They had a lot of experience in the cleaning up our air duct. They were the best. They also cleaned my dryer and chimney very well. I'm comfortable using them again and again. They had a reasonable price."

"We could not have asked for better service. I use Basset for all of my heating and air conditioning needs for a number of properties in addition to my personal home. They are my "go to" folks and I would not think of using anyone else. If you want someone who does business the old fashion way, i.e., providing exceptional service at a fair price to build an enduring business, Basset Heating and Air Conditioning are the best. I give them my highest personal recommendation!"

"Fantastic! Our central AC went out and our HVAC system was over 20 years old so we decided to replace both. K&C provided 4 different estimates that were very detailed and easy to understand. We had 3 other local companies provide estimates and K&C were the lowest for a very efficient set up. They came out within a few days and were professional, friendly, and did an amazing job of cleaning up. They showed us how to use the new thermostat and how to use the app to set it up. They had exceptional communication and even reached out a week after the job to be sure everything was working. Highly recommend, we will absolutely hire them again!"

"When the permit inspector came to the house, he told us that the install was beautiful. Rarely did he see such work that the contractor both knew how to accurately install all of our components (a/c, furnace, water heater, humidifier, and air purifier), but also cared enough to take the time to do the job right. A+ to Robbins for doing such an incredible job. I can give no higher recommendation."

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!"

"I just have to say thank you to Clark's mechanical and Corey for the amazing job on my split mini heat/air. Our technician Cory was reliable and expert in his HVAC trade. He had a solution that didn't break the bank literally in five minutes. I'm mean honestly I called about a dozen places just asking them to take a. Look. They all wanted hundreds to merely dispatch a tech. Clarks Mechanical was Jonny on the spot. Just a few hours later we had heat and air conditioning at a reasonable price. So yes I wholeheartedly recommend Clarks mechanical every day and twice on Sunday"

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.
