"12/27/2013 = before Christmas we were having problems with the furnace coming on.  We called a few furnace repair businesses and AirPros was the one which could come out soonest.  Our son-in-law is an electrician and diagnosed the problem as a bad circuit board.  When AirPros came out they made the same diagnosis (which indicated to me they know what they are doing) and replaced the ignition control board.  The technician also said the blower motor was slow at startup, which is a sign of wear (the furnace and air conditioning units were 19 years old).  It was now working so we didn't do any further maintenance.
10/14/2014 = the thermostat would click on and off, on and off, etc. without letting the furnace stay on.  We called AirPros again, thinking maybe the thermostat needed to be replaced.  Instead, a second circuit board was bad but because the furnace was so old we chose to replace it, which included a new thermostat.  The installation took about half a day and we were very impressed by the quality of work, their knowlege and professionalism.  They were very patient and answered all our questions.
They determined the air conditioning unit was still functioning ok and not in need of replacement.

"Very well. The technician was knowledgeable and willing to explain what he did and found. He left a good report on his findings. He also cleaned the electronic air filter, which I wasn't expecting. The price I paid was an Angie's List special $39 - great price and service!"

"Very well. The air conditioning workmen (Shaun and Sedrick) showed up between 8 and 9 and worked through until 4 PM. They were professional, informative and respectful of homeowner. Electrician and other Seatown workmen also participated in the project. I really appreciated the fact that two apprentices were part of the project and were being taught by the more experienced people, which indicates the company's commitment to well trained and cohesive staff. They also did a respectable clean-up before departure."

"Working with Smart Electric, Heating & Air was VERY easy. Joe was very easy to work with in creating the bid with just a few pictures, scheduling the work, and keeping me up to date throughout the process. Jason, the lead installer for my specific job was wonderful around communication on how things work, and how they would operate in the space. Jason and his team did a great job with the install, even through some hiccups. I absolutely plan to continue to do business with Joe and his team. Thank you for a job well done!"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Carnation, WA

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.
