"We were very pleased with the quick response, detailed information, professional and courteous staff at all levels. Our old furnace died in November on a Friday. Other businesses couldn't get anyone out to repair and replace it for 2-3 weeks. Ranger had it replaced on Monday for us. This week our electronic air filter quit working. Again we had a quick response with a simple fix at no charge. All of our questions were answered fully and information given about the latest models but with no pressure to buy. We will absolutely use Ranger again and refer our friends and family to them."

"The Tacoma company is great. They will come to our home in Newcastle to clean out our dryer vent (which is on top of the roof) without demanding that they clean out all the ductwork in our home. Very few companies will do that. They are efficient and knowledgeable, and we will continue to hire them each year."

"Best price for unit and installation of the companies I looked into, but customer service left something to be desired. Took a very long time to get someone out to install the new filter set up at the air intake, with poor communication on their part. That part of the job was done poorly and had to be redone at my insistence. Also had the red warning light come on. Called about that and no follow through. Again. Really wanted to like these guys, but unimpressed with the experience."

"As much as I detest the City of Seattle's current plan to force homeowners to convert from oil heat by 2028 ("Kill the Poor" indeed), I have to admit that it was the nudge I needed to act. I found Bel Red through Mitsubishi's NoMoreOilHeat website that partners with the City to offer $1500 rebates on select systems. A heat pump seemed like the smartest decision, considering natural gas is also in the City's crosshairs. Thanks to Bel Red's winter sales event, along with the City's rebate, I saved roughly $6500. The oil-to-heat pump conversion was a 2-day event. Day 1 involved decommissioning the oil furnace and installing both the inside and outside heat pump units. Day 2 involved connecting and starting up the heat pump. This took place in mid-March, so Bel Red left me with, ironically, a couple of those oil-filled space heaters to keep me warm overnight. (Newsflash: They didn't!) I hadn't quite considered the ramifications of converting heating systems during wintertime, but it saved a lot of money. Still, if I had it to do over, I'd spend the night at a friend's house. I continued to feel that to-the-marrow cold well into Day 2, anxiety rising as the crew tried to locate the subcontracted electrician, who was late. Let's talk about Bel Red's crew. With one small exception, everyone was fantastic: Joe, the salesman, who put up with my early morning crankiness and knew exactly when to back off and let me think; Yolanda, who answered many, many (and I mean many) questions; Ray and his crew, who were efficient, professional, and made Day 1 as smooth as can be; all the assistants and subcontractors, even the electrician who was late; the office staff, especially the woman who got such a kick out of my telling her that trying to get information from Honeywell is like trying to nail water to the wall; and especially Russ, the Day 2 technician, who saw I was suffering despite being bundled to the hilt and growing more nervous as the electrician continued to be held up at a previous site, assured me that he would stay until the system was up and running. And he did. Russ is a superstar who is an asset to his employer and his profession. I've had the new system for 3 months now and I LOVE it! Having a quiet indoor unit took some getting used to. I wasn't sure the thing was even on at first. The temperature is the same in every room! And the heat is even! None of these blasts of heat, followed by rapidly-cooling air. It is so wonderful! I used the air conditioning for the first time recently, and it too made my house feel comfortable on an unusually muggy day. I will admit to a bit of a sticker shock when I received my first electric bill after the conversion, but some of that can be attributed to stay-at-home quarantine. I did the math, and estimate that I'll save about $600 a year in heating costs, but we'll see. Use of the air conditioning may reduce that savings. And now for some tough love. Finding someone responsible for remedying a failed City permit inspection was challenging. (It should be noted that Bel Red is considered an essential service and continued to sell and service systems during this time period.) When I finally pinned down someone responsible for addressing the problem, he used that old deflection tactic of claiming I'd been the one who'd been difficult to get ahold of.. I'm not sure if this guy doesn't understand that cell phones keep call records, including missed calls, or if he just thinks people won't notice his offensive behavior. Let's be clear about this tactic. This is called gaslighting. If you don't know what that is, go look it up, but rest assured that it has no place in a customer service interaction."

"I would hire these guys in a heart beat again. Between the project staff and the installers. They were quick, responsive, answered all of my questions, guided me in a direction to suit my families needs for proper hearing and air conditioning. They beat other quotes. And at this point, even if they didn t. I would ve hired them again. They fixed Incorrect installations from another well known company and didn t charge me. They properly reassemble everything that had to be taken apart to access the furnace. Which was in a crawl space. And it was a tighttt fit. Family owned and they didn t try selling me on things I didn t need. Bravo to them."

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Yelm, WA

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.
