"Pros * Very friendly and prompt customer service in setting up a service call and completing product orders * Only $59 initial charge for initial diagnosis fee (this charge for weekdays; $85 for weekends) * Technician was extremely personable/friendly; thoroughly and patiently explained every step of his work * For products to be purchased to complete repairs, the technician thoroughly explained how products would improve performance and patiently helped us to find the most affordable solution. * Decent rates for products purchased for repairs. * For the past month, the installed products have significantly improved performance as we have had no freeze-ups of the coil and we experience better cooling. Cons None experienced From the initial call to the end of the product installation, we were thoroughly pleased with the service of Smith Air Conditioning. I have never worked with such an overtly friendly technician; he went out of his way to be nice to my family and me. We had many questions for him as we have been stiffed by AC companies in the past, but he was quite patient with us and explained solutions in a way that made good sense. Further, the secretary at the Smith AC office was very friendly as well, and they were quite prompt and getting a technician out to our place, in placing product orders, and in ensuring that our unit was working better. Additionally, we found the pricing for the products we purchased to be affordable, and the tech did not try to strong-arm us to purchase anything. Finally, for the past month, the products installed have improved the cooling performance of the AC, and the products are working as promised to ensure that the AC does not freeze up on cooler nights. If you choose this company for AC repairs, I sincerely believe that you will be thankful for your excellent choice for years to come. Thanks to Quenton (our AC technician) and all the staff at Smith Air Conditioning for exemplary service. Update: 01/21/2021 Smith Air sent Andrea out to us to have another look at our AC as the handler coil continues to freeze though a freeze stat was recently installed. Upon his arrival, we noticed how friendly and easy-going he was. After observing and analyzing the unit operation, he determined that the freeze stat was connected properly, hence, he was unsure as to why it is not performing well. However, we agreed that adding refrigerant as we were a bit low would help to lower the likelihood of the coil freezing until we resolved the freeze stat issue. So, after the refrigerant was added, we quickly noticed the house cooling faster. Over the next several days, we will continue working with Smith Air to hopefully resolve our problems with freeze stats. Throughout the visit of Andrea, he was friendly and fully willing to answer all our questions. He also provided professional, sensible explanations which my folks and I appreciated. We are truly grateful for the help of Andrea, and we are thankful for the commitment and understanding in working through this strange freeze stat problem. In all my years working with HVAC companies, I have never been as pleased and impressed as I have been with Smith Air. Thanks to you all."

"Having A&H come out and completely redo our attic insulation and air conditioner ducts felt like Christmas! Dustin is so friendly and a great person to do business with. The amount of work they did on our home was incredible. The crew was very professional and they completed the work in less than two days! If you're looking for a one stop shop to show your home some TLC give Dustin a call! They are the best! Work done: cleaning, disinfecting, pest prevention of attic; removal of old insulation, re-insulating, removal and replacement of ducts, sealing holes in roof and under house for pest prevention, cutting trees away from roof, installing moisture barrier under house, and sealing pipes. They even fixed some holes in my awning over my back patio! I'll be grateful for this amazing job done for years and years to come!"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Ville Platte, LA

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.
