Hi, I have a 1 ton unit ina small condo. To follow are the chain of events that occurred that I was hoping for advice on: 1. Two weeks ago, the A/C wasn't was just blowing hot air, so I had a A/C man come out. He checked for leaks, replaced shreader valves, replaced service valve caps, and charged the system with 3 and 1/2 pounds. This cost me $193. 2. Two weeks later (today), the unit is not cooling at all; just blowing hot air. Now, the same A/C guy says that when he was out (two weeks ago) he noticed that the air handler was dirty and needed cleaning which was most likely the cause of the problem. But, it will cost $250 to clean, so I may want to think about getting an entire new unit inside ($1000). 3. I pulled out the blowers in the internal unit and cleaned the coils with coil cleaner spray, but this did not seem to help. The air still blew hot. 4. The outside unit does not have hot air blowing out of it like most working A/Cs. 5. The outside unit's 'cooling pipe' is not cold like it is on most units. I think that freon is still leaking somewhere and this A/C guy just wants to put a new unit in. Any suggestions?? Also, does anybody know if it is legal to stop payment on a check in Texas; seems like somebody told me that you cannot stop payment on a service. thanks for any help, Aaron
