[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2900870, member: 7629"] the first thing you need to do is find an honest/competent tech that works your area .. who are probably covered up with work about right now. let the tech tell you what's wrong and what options are the best to fix and/or replace. they probably will not be thrilled about having their work criticized on a forum by no telling who. due to the complex nature of HVAC work you could get several differing opinions .. a competent tech will be able to accurately diagnose what is actually wrong. let's assume that a leaking coil is correct .. it's all but impossible to accurately repair/find a leak in an evaporator coil without removing from system. a tech would have to evacuate refrigerant charge, cut out coil, install valves then pressurize with nitrogen to find a leak(s) within a coil. then what if there's another hard to find leak(s) in the outside condenser and/or it develops a new leak? it's simply not cost effective to do above ..
