"We had a gas leak under our home. PGE turned off the gas and told us to get a plumber to find the leak and correct it
I called my (at the time) go to plumber company - Big Angelo's.
To their credit they were very responsive and to my house in less than one hour!
Pretty much my satisfaction ended there and my previous glowing endorsement and referrals ended.
When their guy (Joe?) arrived we reviewed the situation. We checked for possibilities in the house (stove, dryer, etc.) then decided that he needed to go under the house as originally suggested.
To find a gas leak, air is pumped into the gas line and hissing noise is sought out.
Joe was on his own and though he had a pump, his pressure gauge did not work, so he could not be sure that the line was holding air. I volunteered to pump the bicycle pump to ensure there was pressure in the line while Joe crawled under the house to find the hissing. In 5 minutes, the leak was found. He said he could hear it as soon as he got under the house.
He did not have all the parts to fix the corroded line, so we agreed to cap it and fix it another day. The line fed a fireplace, so not having it working was an OK option. PGE returned to confirm the leak was fixed and returned our gas service the same day!
Sounds like a positive story. So, why the poor review? Price GOUGING! Joe was at my house for less than 1 hour - Cost = $275! What an incredible rate! Certainly not the rate previously charged for other work at my home. No detail was given on my bill to break out the charges, so I asked what I was being charged for. He said "finding the leak", and that crawling under my house was an automatic $150 upcharge! I have never been charged that previously by electrician, contractor, plumber, etc..
I also asked for an estimate to run a new line and told him to assume he would again have to crawl under the house. His quote $750.
Knowing that I had already been charged an outrageous sum for this first call, I held off on making an appointment for the additional work. I got another quote for $300 - $350, which I had done and was charged $325 for 2 hours labor, under the house and 15 ft of gas line and fittings.
Perhaps my previous positive reviews of Big Angelo's here on Angie's List had Joe thinking that I was a fan no matter what. The responsiveness was excellent and the work was done promptly, but the price gouge ultimately took away the previous good feelings and referrals. I might use these guys in the future, but I will be much more careful and on guard.
AFTER READING BAs REPLY I HAVE AMENDED my SCORING:
Everything BA said is true, still I don't think there was reason to attack me with " people like you take advantage of these review sites to write half-truth reviews". If you view my previous glowing remarks about BA and my other reviews you will see it is not my pattern.
The responsiveness and punctuality was excellent - A
Quality (since I include communication here) - B
Pricing - C - IMO the fee was too much for one hour, whether I am desperate or not should not effect your pricing. Your quote for additional work , when considering the permit and additional time is NOT outrageous, but still higher than paid.
Professionalism. - B Downgraded for lack of complete communication and for your comments that make me the bad guy instead of a customer that hasn't been given enough information.

"Jim was very helpful and personable to work with. I had recently moved to the Huntsville area and was unable to connect my wireless printer. There were also some things going on with my laptop that made me suspect a virus had somehow gotten on to it, it was running more slowly than usual, and I wasn't happy with the Win7 configuration I had done when I bought the computer. Jim came in and assessed the problems and we agreed on a time for him to take the laptop and reinstall the OS. He was able to get the wireless connection to work as well. He took the computer on a Friday evening and returned it Sunday evening in prime condition.
A few weeks later I got an error message while reinstalling my accounting software so I called Jim. He talked me through the problem over the phone and I was able to get the program installed so I could use the program.
Jim is great to work with, his pricing is very fair, he is prompt and reliable. I will definitely use his services again.

"I expected the cleaning technique would be the truck-mounted negative-air vacuum process. However, Aegis uses the point of contact method, removing vent covers and inserting the vacuum. The tech was very friendly. We did a walk through to view the number of air ducts to be cleaned and to be certain all necessary furniture and items were moved to allow clear access. He cleaned all of the air vents, the furnace and the dryer vent. There was a considerable amount of debris in the air vents as we bought the house new, and the vents hadn't been cleaned to remove dirt and debris from construction. My only complaint was that the tech said we didn't need to move a chest in the hallway above which the air exchange was located. He did move it later without my knowledge or help, and explained afterwards that one of the legs of the chest broke as he re-positioned the chest.

"Professional and efficient. The technician Jacob knowledge was impressive. My mother passed away on July 15th and on the 17th, Jacob came out and fulfilled her last request. I would hire them again for my air conditioning needs. If I could I would give Jacob a raise!"
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.
