Freon leak - repair or replace?
I was having a problem with my AC leaking water and had someone come look at it. They told me that the freon level was very low and recharged that (2 pounds). Apparently there is a leak somewhere. He said they charge $325 to find the leak and the 99% of the time it is one of 3 major parts that needs replaced and would cost between $1200 - $1500. He said we should decide if we want to proceed with that or just buy a new unit. Ours is 8 1/2 years old and I don't know what kind. He said it was a contractors cheapie unit. Does this make sense. Is it really usually that much to repair a leak? Thanks!

With hvac4u call some one else.
Now you have a outdoor unit called the condenser this has the compressor in it. then you have a indoor A coil. that is all the major parts I know of and that make just 2.
Is this the first time you have had to put gas in it?Most of the time of late it has been the indoor A coil.
