"James was fantastic! He was polite and knowledgeable. He efficiently fixed our air conditioning, and informed us of all the different options we had. We will certainly use this company again if James is any indication of the caliber of staff they employ."

"John is meticulous and amazingly fair with his pricing. I had the SAME part replaced 5 years ago and this time John installed it better than the last company, double checked EVERYTHING and the bill was half of the last contractor. That is simply unheard of these days. He is going to be out this spring to replace the AC units, very happy and glad to find him here on HA. LGS"

"Had the full heating and cooling system replaced and new duct work installed. Amos was quick, courteous and knowledgeable. The previous system would not pass code, but Amos knew what system to replace it with that would fit and fix the problems. They worked with my budget, too. Would definitely recommend them for your HVAC repair/replacement work."

"Tap Heating and Cooling came while I was at work and my wife was home taking care of our newborn. The technician, Jeff, was very polite and very quiet as well (as we had a newborn sleeping) which I found to be amazingly courteous. He performed the cleaning and inspection of our furnace very quickly and efficiently. When Jeff was finished, he let my wife know the the circuit board was mounted improperly, but that he went ahead and took care of it as it was a very simple fix. As well, a filter was included in this service. I had recently replaced our filter (not realizing I was going to take advantage of this awesome Angie's List deal) and he let my wife know that the filter was still good and that he left a new one next to the furnace for next time. We recently moved here, but Tap Heating and Cooling is for sure my go-to in the area from now on as they showed nothing but professionalism, honesty, and courteousness while in my home. Thanks Jeff and Tap Heating and Cooling, I'll see you in summer for my A/C tune up!

"Great experience with Flame Tech. George was knowledgeable and responsive. He provided an accurate estimate over email based on a number of photos and a few phone conversations which streamlined the bid process considerably. They replaced my AC in a few hours for a fair price and educated me on other safety considerations related to my furnace. He also helped me diagnose a rattle in my air ducts that would have given me fits. Good price, know-how, and customer service, I would use Flame Tech again."

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.
