"I have used Relax Air services twice in the past. On November 19th my water heater stopped producing hot water, I've called Nasser to come over to assess what needed to be done. On Monday Nov. 21st he replaced my old water heater (21 years old) Nasser is honest and very reliable. He is very reasonable with his pricing (I have compared Nasser's pricing to my next door neighbors water heater replacement cost). I would highly recommend Relax Air. A huge THANK YOU to Nasser...Relax Air is the ONLY company for my Heating And Air Conditioning needs!"

"I had a 20+ year old air conditioning system and didn't want to nurse it through another summer season so I started looking for a replacement during the very polar cold month of February 2019. Of the three bids I received, I was most impressed with Polar Bear Air Conditioning & Heating Inc's responsiveness, professionalism and price. Three days after I signed a contract, Team Polar was at my house at 8:30 am and by 1:00 pm I had a new air conditioning system! The team worked fast, was pleasant, provided updates and handled the one problem encountered, the condenser wouldn't fit through the front door of my old DC townhouse, with grace and humor as they hauled it around the block and in through the back walkway. I'm looking forward to having a cool, reliable and energy efficient system this summer and would definitely recommend Polar Bear Air Conditioning & Heating Inc. to anyone looking for a new system. Thanks again Polar Bear Air Conditioning & Heating Inc!"

"The technician (Shammion) arrived on time and spent time listening to my concerns and answered my questions before proceeding with the work. Shammion has serviced my furnace and a/c unit previously, and on each occasion he has spent time informing me how various parts of my HVAC should work and what I need to do to get the most from the systems. On this occasion, Shammion instructed me on how to use my new thermostat and how best to keep my condenser coil clean in the future. The work was done expertly and in a professional manner, and I highly recommend Shammion and McCrea Heating and Air Conditioning."

"Quickly diagnosed the central air conditioning system, and gave an estimate on the cost of recharging the refrigerant in the compressor. The system is a 14 year old Carrier unit. Albert also included some sealant that may plug up the slow leak of refrigerant that occurs every 2 years or so. Albert also, showed me how to adjust the damper to control the flow of air to the second and third floors of the house. The other company that arrived wanted to charge me $5,000 to repair the system or close to $7,000 to replace the AC system with new. I intend to call upon Magna Tech Temp Air, Inc when I'm ready to purchase a new HVAC system. Thanks again for taking the time to listen to my concerns. Well done!!!"

"I have two air conditioning units that were leaking. Home Advisor recommended three companies I could choose from, to come to my home and give me an estimate. I chose I-HVAC Solutions since they had the best reviews and I am so happy I did! I called I-HVAC Tuesday evening and Sam was able to come to my house the next morning. The two things I noticed right away, was that his truck was clean and very professional, and he put on booties before entering my house. He looked at both units and was able to tell me right away what was causing the leak. In addition to repairing the leak, he also pointed out some things that could be a potential problem in the future, as a result of the way the units were installed. In contrast, he shared some good things about the quality of the air conditioning units, and its durability. He reassured me with proper maintenance, the units should run to its full capacity, without making the adjustments he noted. This made me feel as if he was not trying to sell me unnecessary services, put just wanted to bring somethings to my attention (both good and not so good). Sam was very thorough and personable. He even shared with me how he stared his own business. I was so impressed with his professionalism, I asked him to perform the much needed maintenance on one of the units. It was clearly dirty and had not been serviced in 2 years. Since he had other clients scheduled, he agreed to come back later that afternoon and perform the maintenance service. I am completely satisfied with I-HVAC and will definitely utilize their services again in the future."

"September 2019, my water heater broke and TC HVAC Services replaced it with a new water heater. And they also fixed my AC and fridge. Recently, in October 2019, TC HVAC Services installed a new humidifier in my home. Mr. Thea Chea, the specialist was professional, honest, and he answered all of my questions. The repairs and installation were completed in a timely manner. And costs were reasonable and fair. I would definitely use TC HVAC Services again and I have recommended TC HVAC Services to my family and friends. Thank you, Mr. Chea and TC HVAC Services LLC."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Alexandria, VA

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.
