It passed $1500 months ago.While the guy was doing the r410 last year, he said he expected the average system to be $1500 higher in 2023 due to higher seer requirements. Don't know if that came to pass.

I would recommend replacing as soon as possible, prices have basically doubled in the last 18 months. They will continue to go up.Need to top off a condenser with R22. Anyone know of source? I have used mine over the years on a slow [legal] leak. Need maybe 2 lbs. I need to get by another year before replacing.
I installed these in 1992 in my own home when I was licensed. I let my license expire years ago.
Of course I will sign letter for resale to remain legal. Isn't it wonderful what the EPA and greenies have done to the price of refrigerants?

Gonna find something at 107. Cheapest way to go at my age.I would recommend replacing as soon as possible, prices have basically doubled in the last 18 months. They will continue to go up.
True. Much more valuable than copper.It won’t be long with this pricing, people will wake up some morning and find their system evacuated by Freon thieves.
You may want to swap out the coil while you've got it pumped down. That's where most of the leaks show up.True. Much more valuable than copper.
When I get it charged I will pump it down and check the lines and evaporator for leakage with a vacuum.
Then look for a leak on the condenser. After this much time there should be some oil.
Yeah. That's why I was gonna pull vacuum to check. It's the second coil in there now. MaybeHateful PM sent.

Do you have excess vibration from an out of balance condenser fan causing fractures?Yeah. That's why I was gonna pull vacuum to check. It's the second coil in there now. Maybe
10 years old.
Most small appliances use the propane base refrigerant now days. Same as in Europe.410A is $95 a pound from the hvac techs I use. They said in 2025 there will be a new freon out. 410A is being
phased out now. So the price will just go up. If you search the web there are drop in refrigerants for R22,
410A etc. They are a lot cheaper. I have heard some guys just use propane. Only problem there is
chance of explosion or it leaking into your house. The democrat crazies are wrecking the hvac business and
the consumer. I guess we knew if Trump lost we would be finished as a nation. So get ready for much worse things in the future.
The first evaporator had leaks in the braze joints at the elbows. They were Amana made in Mexico.Do you have excess vibration from an out of balance condenser fan causing fractures?
Something is causing it.
