"Austin was very professional. He understood our needs and took the time to explain our options in detail and to make the right choice for our home. With the weather being so hot and our old system died (old system was not Trane) he was able to get a new system installed in 2 days! If you are looking for a new heating and air conditioning system Holtzople Heating, air conditioning and Electric is the only one you should choose."

"After several years of shoddy furnace repairs, replacements and guesswork from our propane provider, I decided to find another service. I quickly got a call back and appointment from Tetteris Heating and Air. After a brief diagnostic, Greg Shaeffer almost immediately assessed the problem was a malfunctioning gas valve. After replacing and converting the valve, he discovered that the old valve had not been installed or converted properly by the previous company. Greg was very professional, helpful, friendly and didn't mind answering any questions I had. I couldn't be more satisfied with the work and service that Tetteris provided. Highly recommended!"

"Fantastic company from start to finish! The gentleman who sold us the furnace, their salesman, Alex, was upfront in getting us the best price, along with a 10 yr parts and labor warranty included! The price for the furnace and installation was great, and they guaranteed apples to apples to meet any other companies cost. They offer a $100. fee if we found anyone to do it cheaper, with the same offer. They were able to schedule the intallation quickly, and did a great job intalling it. I would highly recommend using this company for your heating and air conditioning needs. Great company! Great prices! Great work! You won't be disappointed using Horizon Services! Take care....."

"Our central air unit quit working late last night. I searched for a repair person, this morning, on Angie's list, selected AJB. They contacted me within minutes, texted back and forth, was told that they could be out this afternoon. They just left here, the unit is working fine. I am very pleased with the service and advice on our very old system. I would definitely use them 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.
