"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I want to start by highlighting the *above and beyond* service I received from Keep Smiling Heating & Air. In the midst of a brutal Atlanta heatwave, I called in a panic because my newer AC unit had suddenly stopped blowing cold air. From the first point of contact, the experience was incredibly professional and reassuring. I received a confirmation text, a follow-up call when the technician was in route, and even a text introduction with a picture and background info on the technician. Who does that? **Keep Smiling does.** Technician **Byron Solares** was exceptional—knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely empathetic. I explained that I have my elderly father with a breathing condition living with me, and Byron not only resolved the issue efficiently, but took the time to explain everything clearly. Thanks to his quick work, we’re resting comfortably tonight."

"Great service from a great company. Glad I found them for this project. The technician who arrived was very personable and knew what he was doing. He pointed out some things with my aging system that will need replacing but didn't pressure me to replace. Just advised so when ready I can take care of it. Other companies in the past would try to force the repair at the moment - not America's Heating and Air. Great company."

"Martin went above and beyond by giving me a crash course on my heating and air units functionality. He wanted to be sure that I understood the basics, so that I would not be ripped off by unscrupelous repair men. I was dold (by a different AC guy) that he needed to replace my unit, but Martin showed me why that was not the case. I REALLY appreciated that!"
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.
