"I had a problem with my air conditioning. I contacted Wes he assured me that a technician would be at my residence by 8:00 AM this morning. A young man from the Company named Dillon was on time. He accessed the situation, fixed the issue and explained everything in detail. Dillon was polite, courteous, knowledgeable and cared about my issue and respected my home. Thank You Dillon. I strongly recommend Taylor Construction Services Heating & Air, you wonâ t be disappointed. Iâ m so glad Iâ m associated with this fine company."

"I would highly recommend Hometown Heating and Air LLC. Zach and Harrison were very professional and there work ethic Is unmatched. They were very helpful in helping us make decisions in what systems would be best based on our needs. They explained the process and there communication was on point. They went out of there way and worked long hours to get our new HVAC system installed in a very timely manner. My wife and I were very impressed and canâ t say enough to thank them for all that they have done. Our system has been installed for a couple of months now and we have seen a significant drop in our power bill. We had them install the Bosch 18.5 Seer and it has been awesome. It exceeds all our expectations. Thank you Hometown Heating and Air for making this such a positive experience. Highly Recommend!ed!!!"

"We were in a desperate situation. My mom is 90 and on oxygen and my husband is on dialysis. Our A/C went out in the a.m. on Wednesday, 9/7/2016. Another company came out mid-day Thursday, 9/8/2016 to work on unit. We thought the unit was fixed; but, went off around midnight. Tried all day on Friday, 9/9/2016 to get someone to fix our unit, no success. At 3:00 pm, when our situation looked dim, we contacted Old Dominion Heating and Air and spoke with James. We informed him of the problem and our medical concerns. He said he would be at our home at a specific time. James arrived 10 mins early, diagnosed the problem and fixed our unit. We were so thankful. James saved us on a Friday evening. I/we would recommend him without given it a second thought. We plan to use his services for our twice per year annual maintenance. Outstanding customer service!! Thank you James!"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Richmond, VA

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.
