Car Thermal Expansion Valve
The thermal expansion valve controls refrigerant flow between the evaporator and compressor depending on temperature changes within the system. The valve is temperature-sensitive and meters the right amount of refrigerant into the evaporator—expanding when temperatures rise to allow more flow and contracting during cooler conditions to restrict it.
Located typically near the evaporator, this component contains a sensing bulb, diaphragm, and spring-loaded valve that work in harmony to respond to temperature and pressure variations throughout the system's operation.
When a thermal expansion valve fails, symptoms often include inconsistent cooling, frost accumulation on AC components, or complete cooling loss.
How Long Does it Take to Repair an AC Compressor?
It can take us anywhere from 2 to 3 hours to replace the valve, depending on the make and model. We'll need to remove the refrigerant, remove and replace the valve, and then properly evacuate and recharge the entire AC system to manufacturer specifications.

Real Stories in Thornhill, ON
"The staff at MR automotive are very professional and honest. When Bobby told me my air conditioning would be a little more expensive to fix due to the previous owner crazy gluing all of the lines together - I was happy to understand the situation instead of just being presented with a huge bill to replace everything. This isn't the type of shop where you'll be told to replace things prematurely or without proper explanation and proof - which is quite hard to find these days!"

"MR Automotive is full of people who know their stuff but it's also great for people who aren't car-savvy (like me!) I trust Bobby & David to do a great job every time, they never sell me on anything I don't need, but make sure I at least understand what's going on. Thankful to have a mechanic I know and love."
