"While having our air ducts cleaned, mildew was discovered on the inside the supply plenum on our A/C unit in the attic (possibly from all the moisture Harvey dumped on us for days). Although the unit was only four years old, we decided it was best to replace it before it got worse. To hopefully avoid this type of problem in the future, we wanted to install some form of UV light in the plenum after it's replacement, but we were very concerned about the ozone that's released into the home's air from some of these types of lights. Matthew from Air Specialist listened and addressed all of our concerns about UV lights, and gave us information about each type on the market and which ones would address our concerns. After research, we decided on one of the Lennox UV lights and Matthew installed it for us. So far we've had no problems with this UV light, and we continue to be happy with Air Specialist's work."

"Great! I have three AC Units on my house, all were 11+ years old. I had issues with one early in the summer, then came home to find that a second one had gone kaput. I had conversations with three different providers, and ultimately I chose to go with Punbar to replace all three units. Ronald answered all my questions, made some good suggestions, and during all our conversations never pressured me to make one choice or another. He was matter of fact and honest about the limitations what we could do to improve the circulation in the house. His team was able to replace all three units in one day (albeit a long day!) and the were neat, tidy, cleaned up and picked up well, including when one of the workers accidentally put his foot through the ceiling. While they had to come back to repair the ceiling, again, it was done very well and the drywall person cleaned up the work area very well. The pricing was good, (of the the three quotes I had, Punbar was the middle price) and they worked to get all the rebates possible at the time, further reducing my cost. I would highly recommend them."

Customers say: Quality work

"Felipe was recommended to us by a member of our church. Our air conditioner compressor and coil needed to be replaced. From the beginning, Felipe and his crew were very professional, always on time or early, extremely easy to contact, and genuine. Felipe asked my husband to walk with him and stand next to him during the inspection and repairs so that we would know exactly what was being done. His price was very fair. As a Houston mom of three babies, I could not be more grateful to have our air conditioner back and running! We could not recommend him enough. Thank you so much, Felipe!!!"

"Air Heating & Cooling repaired ducts, replaced all grills, installed larger ductwork, bigger air supply vents in large living room & installed a new ceiling return. They drywall sealed unneeded return openings. Team came at 8am & worked diligently to install a complete HVAC system. They cleaned up any mess before they left. Jose and George really listened to my concerns of insufficient air flow in my 1978 home and made improvements. My home feels so comfortable and cool now. I look forward to less expensive electric bills. Thanks to God for their hard work. I highly recommend them for HVAC installation. A+++"

"I spent a week interviewing and getting quotes for a total ac/furnace/compressor replacement using Trane equipment. Jose with Affordable Air were the cheapest. They came in and were in and out in a day and a half. I am very happy with the equipment and installation. I was able to get a 16 SEER system for the price of a 14 SEER from another contractor. Kudos to Jose and Affordable Air"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Houston, TX

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.
