Started the A/C last night.....was humid.....but by morning the condenser line was froze...
I guess the little leak I experienced a couple of years ago leaked down low enough to need a recharge.
I had checked for leaks on everything I could think of and get to, but I don't have a sniffer and don't want to use dye.
Must be small enough that it took 2 years.....last time.
Pulled my jug of R 22 from the garage....added 5 pounds, holds 10 pounds....cooling good again....That all I had left.
I guess there is an advantage to be able to fix it my self.
But that was my stash I had for side jobs....
Then I priced another 30# jug...prices for $280 to $500 bucks...HOLY CRAP!!!!!!
Gonna wait and see what happens as I don't have a recovery machine, vacuum pump and leak sniffer......so would have to get ahold of one of my buddies.......
I have been away for the business since 2007 and the price is very high on the older ozone killing product's (they say)...But I guess I wasn't ready for this.
Have to see how well this charge lasts.....
Randy, how's prices in your area?
