Replace Your Car's AC Thermal Expansion Valve or Orifice Tube
Your car or truck's AC system is under extreme pressure and the thermal expansion valve or orifice tube monitors the amount of pressure and the temperature of your A/C system. It calculates the precise amount of refrigerant that can safely go into the evaporator. A failing expansion valve or orifice tube often causes a vehicle's air conditioner to blow hot air.
Replace or Repair
- Expansion Valves: Too much refrigerant causes your evaporator to get too cold whereas too little refrigerant would result in inadequate cooling. The expansion valve is a complex valve that regulates refrigerant flow. This process of metering the refrigerant adjusts the flow according to the temperature of the refrigerant in the evaporator coil. Talk to one of the pro mechanics at Everything Automotive of Jacksonville, Inc., as this part can be replaced on its own and does not require the entire replacement of the AC assembly.
- Orifice Tubes: Unlike the expansion valve, the orifice tube is a simple fixed device with no moving parts. It therefore cannot vary the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, but rather causes a permanent restriction in the system. However, like the expansion valve the orifice tube regulates refrigerant flow through the system and filters debris which may come through in its screen. Often fixing a "bad orifice tube" requires replacing the entire evaporator assembly.

My car had a gas leak from a vent hose. Our regular place we took it to would not repair the hose but instead ordered a new tank with hoses which are on Nationwide backorder and the cost was going to be over 1700 dollars. so I went online looking for answers and doing research and decided to bring it to everything automotive for a second opinion after reading their reviews. Ben and Tony were the ones I dealt with and immediately Ben, knew that it could be fixed and Tony fixed it right there and then while I waited. They knew this was emergent and got right on it. I decided that this is the place we need to bring our cars to. It's so evident with their knowledge and Ben, was so easy to talk to I immediately felt at home. Thanks again Ben and Tony we appreciate you.
