"Very knowledgeable, neat and all the workers were polite. I would highly recommend this company, had a new installation of an air conditioning unit, we were very pleased. Pricing was excellent also. No one else gives you a 10 year warranty on parts and labor unless you pay additional money."

"R.J. is a genius when it comes to AC repair. He was able to do what 4 other AC repair companies were unable to do, locate the exact area where my AC was leaking refrigerant. All the other companies (Unique, Badger Bob's, A/C Warehouse, and Air Handlers) documented on their service forms that there was a leak in the evaporator coil. All of them suggested first that I needed a new evaporator coil, but by the time I pay $2,000-$3,000 for the new coil, I might as well by a new AC unit. They all ended up trying to sell me a new AC unit. Unique wanted me to buy a unit for $10,441. The Unique technician noted on the service form that "he had found a leak in the evaporator coil. Due to the condition of the system and system going into a domino affect, I recommended to customer one of our comfort advisors about replacement of system." R.J. made a very complete and thorough inspection of the evaporator coil and could not find any sign of a leak. He then started checking the rest of the unit, which no other company did. They all stopped at the evaporator coil. R.J. noticed that the copper pipping that carries the refrigerant to the evaporator coil was shiny and oily. He removed some black tape that was around the pipping in one area and found a small hole in the pipping. Someone had done a poor job of soldering the pipe in that area. R.J. got out his soldering equipment and closed the hole. He then checked to make sure that the AC was working properly. To do the work, R.J. had to stay late on a Friday night and had no problem doing so. I could not thank him enough. R.J. is extremely knowledgeable about AC units. He is meticulous, diligent, clearly explains everything, honest, and very nice. I highly recommend R.J. If you want someone who really knows what their doing in regards to AC repair, goes out of his way to try to find solve the problem, and won't try to sell you something you don't need. R.J. is your man."

"Great, same day, super efficient. Another company that was first to call me tried to up-sell me on replacing the entire a/c unit instead of topping up the Freon per my request. I said I know things about air conditioning since I am a senior citizen and my systemâ s history, so I was expecting to just get an annual pressure test, routine stuff. So that first guy didnâ t get my business because he failed to respect my preferences and judgement and saying stuff like â R22 is so expensive and itâ s better to change out the unitâ , not realizing I know there are at least four drop-in replacements for R22 today. After that weird phone call, Iâ m glad to have instead used Freezing Pointâ s guy who even with no English ability took care of the job, climbing up on my roof with the refrigerant tank and gauges. I will probably use him again next year for the same service call on my 25 yo. central a/c."

"Tony, from LPAC did a great job fixing our air conditioning program. He was on site within a couple of hours and replaced our motor to get us cold air again. He was quick, friendly and professional. Would use again."

"Don responded immediately to our request for an air conditioning service. He gave us a good price for a new air conditioner which he had in stock. His installers did a good job removing the old and putting in the new. When we opted for a different air filter his employee did a first rate job of fitting it into the limited space. Cleanup followed the job. My husband and I have been very pleased with Florida Air, their price and workmanship. I would highly recommend them for professionalism and honesty and value."

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.
