"Our air conditioner failed on the evening of August 11, 2021. We called around 9 PM and got a live person on the phone. He arranged for service early the next day. The weather was very hot. Technician arrived when promised, shortly after 9 AM. He replaced the capacitor and got us up and running shortly thereafter. We have a maintenance agreement, so we have elevated expectations of a service response. However, we appreciate how quickly Fresh Air resolved our problem."

"Sam was great. Had a extremely dirty system that would not function correctly or blow cold air. Had High Ridge Heating and Cooling here as he has done work before for me and parents. He took one look and stated we needed to replace entire a/c furnace unit for $3100. Told us it would cost about the same to clean. No way I could afford that so went on Angie's List to find someone and read Sam's review's. He came out and told me the cost at $425 to clean. Which was fantastic. He spent about 2 1/2 to 3 hours and did a wonderful job. Ended up paying total $625 once he was done and asked me before doing anything additional that would cost more. Also since our unit didn't have valves on system to reuse our refrigerant he had to put new in which was part of price increase. Sam, thanks so mich for not trying to take advantage."

"Excellent - As on his previous service call two weeks ago, Darrin was very prompt, courteous, and happy to answer my many questions. The two outside freeze-proof faucets needed to be replaced because of their age and poor condition. I provided Darrin my copy of the estimate he wrote up for me on my prior service call (he said he didn't have a copy of it on his current work order), and he honored it as promised, letting me use my $50 credit (I had previously purchased a discounted Plumbing Service deal from Angie's List for $39.00). Darrin was able to complete the entire job in about an hour and with minimum disruption to everyone home when the water was turned off. Also, as previously promised by Darrin, I was not charged for an additional service call since I had him look at the faucets during the previous service call, but he didn't have time during that service call to replace them. In addition to replacing the two faucets, he also installed shut-offs on each water line inside of the house near each faucet."

"I called Bernie this morning after my home warranty company had not assigned a tech to repair my central AC. He was not only professional but more importantly an overall great human being with the understanding we have been having excessive heat Bernie still made time to come out. Not only did he get to my house quickly he was able to replace the part needed to get me up and running. He then went above and beyond to ensure it was working correctly, changed my filter, and made sure the air was blowing at the correct temperature. He was extremely reasonable and more importantly without hassle filled out the paperwork needed so I would be reimbursed by my warranty company. If I could give him 10 stars I would and I would highly recommend using him for repairs."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Saint Louis, MO

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.
