We have a Lennox Elite series, just under three years old. A few days ago we noticed that it was blowing constantly and wasn't cooling the house down to 75, where the thermostat is set. (It's summer in South Texas.) It wouldn't get lower than 77.
This lasted just a few hours, then it started behaving normally again. It's been running fine for four or five days now.
We called the installer to check it out just in case, and they told us that we need to replace the expansion valve and quoted $550. This seems like a lot to me for a problem that may have gone away on its own.
Is it possible that this was a temporary issue that self-corrected, or should we expect it to come back later? Is doing nothing an option, or will that just make it worse? Is $550 a reasonable estimate?
Thanks!
