Thread: It's hot

My downstairs unit went out too. A/C technician looked at it for five minutes and said he would quote me a price to replace it. I think I need a second opinion.

I love the new units they sell now,,, they use reverse heat pump technology for cooling and heat pump for heating,,,

Why do boys need heat??? It don't get cold down there!! Lol

If one needs a lot of repair its best to get a new unit since they are not makeing r12 and r 22 freon anymore. I replaced my heat and air unit year before last on account of that.

Been talking that forever ain't making any Freon for older units. I have a small leak. I have it charged up every 2 years. Cost about 100 bucks. They say it's time to replace with new unit. I ain't changing nothing until the compressor is shot. They quoted me 5000. I have a 3500 sq ft home. 2 units. The upstairs is the one leaking. That quote sounds way to high. Walker in Oxford is who I use.

You can still get r22 but its high. I still have a 30 lb drum from my ac days.

Find a place that sells parts, get you a can of leak seal. Comes in a kit with charging hose. Follow instructions in kit and most likely solve your problem. Was having to add 2 lb's a year to upstairs unit. Put a can in 3 years ago and no problem. Just put one in down stairs unit. Will see how this one does.

Mr Jim, Mid America was selling 1 lb containers until last fall. Can't get it anymore. My a/c guy says they can get it but it's roughly 350-400 a container now and getting in short supply.
