TXV (Thermostatic Expansion Valve) Replacement in Central Florida

What Is a TXV?

The Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) precisely controls the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator coil. A properly functioning TXV ensures maximum cooling efficiency and protects your compressor from liquid slugging — a destructive condition that causes catastrophic failure.

Signs of a Failing TXV

• System blows warm air despite running continuously
• Evaporator coil freezing up (TXV stuck closed)
• Compressor overheating or failing (TXV stuck open)
• Inconsistent cooling — works fine sometimes, poorly other times
• Abnormal suction or discharge pressure readings
• Repeated compressor failures without clear cause

• EPA-certified refrigerant recovery before opening the system
