"I had a wire in my furnace that was disconnected and keeping our air conditioner on. He was fair in either letting us do the work or him. We had a hot long weekend and did not want to do it. So we choose him. Great guy. Thanks Janice Henry"

"Our 14 year old HVAC system was starting to have problems, mainly with the A/C system which had a persistent coolant leak. With the increasing cost of R22 Freon we knew the time was near and a spring replacement was planned. That was before the blower motor in the furnace started to make a terrible noise and quickly failed, moving up our timeline. We had already done our research and decided on a Trane system. Based on overwhelming positive reviews and a co-worker referral, we decided to call Westin Air for an evaluation and quote. Our experience with Cathy, Westin's sales rep, was very pleasant - a full assessment of our needs and review of our options and no hard sell. The system suggested was the Trane S9V2 furnace with the XL18i air conditioner. Since our A/C was not working, installation was scheduled within a few days. The installation crew was incredible. They put tarps down on the hardwood floor and went above and beyond when it came to being careful. They cleaned up inside and out to the point you would never have known they were at the house. Our experience with Westin Air mirrored all of the positive reviews we read online. The office staff, salesperson and install team were all enjoyable to work with. There was a sense of honesty and integrity in everyone we encountered. There would be no hesitation to recommend Westin Air."

"THIS COMPANY INSTALLED OUR AIR CONDITIONER ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO AND WE HAVE HAD REPEATED TROUBLES. THIS IS PARTLY DUE TO THEIR RUSHING THE INSTALLATION BECAUSE WE WERE LEAVING TOWN. ON THE OTHER HAND, NO OTHER COMPANY WAS WILLING TO DO THE WORK BECAUSE IT WAS COMPLICATED."

"Carl, the technician, came quickly and was thorough and professional in his work. He diagnosed the issue with our air conditioning and provided several payment options to see what worked best for us. He had to order parts for our air conditioning so he even offered to find window units for us to keep our house cool in the heat until it can be fixed!"

"The two repairmen did an excellent job solving the problem with my air conditioner! They explained that a block of ice was in the unit that needed a day to melt! They came back the next day and diagnosed the problem as low freeon! Problem solved! I’m a satisfied customer! Would recommend this company!"

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.
