[QUOTE="1Mudman, post: 4030679, member: 51234"] Its ridiculous the prices Heat and Air charge to put in 2 lbs of R22. I have a unit that I have replaced coils and other things. I have spent thousands of dollars on this unit and it still has a slow leak. Last summer I had 2 fans and start run capacitors on separate units go bad. I went to Locke supply and they didnt want to sell them to me because I didnt have a EPA number or some license number. After a discussion with the young lady behind the counter with me explaining that there would be no R 22 or refrigerant involved and the manager showing up I was able to make purchase. My wife went into the other side of the store and bought the items for a the other unit with no problems. Money save for two 30 min jobs was about $400 bucks! The same applies with aerobic system. The first 3 times I had to get rebuilt air pumps replaced was $700 and thats been 6 years ago. I went online and found rebuild kits for $25 and brand new, exact same pumps for less that $200 bucks. Simpley pull the breaker, take old pump off and install new pump. Literally a 10 to 15 minute job! 3 wires, hot, negative and ground. Black, White and Green. Being retired and collecting tools and a good Volt/Ohm meter and a little YouTube your can sure fix things pretty easily. Im tired of being ripped off by greedy business owners! [/QUOTE]
