it depends on where u go to get it done and how long the mechanic shop says it takes most small town shops charge 70 bucks an hour for labor, but the Freon is actually cheap and easy to do yourself. there is a valve that looks like a tire core under the hood and u just connect the can to this and let it fill. so your price actually depends on how cheap u can find the Freon for.
The Freon to recharge your automobiles air conditioning system will cost less than $10. The cost to have a professional recharge your system will be around $50. A do-it-yourself recharge kit will cost approximately $15.
yes but you need to how much freon if may not be cost effective. Plus you need to know if it is the same type of freon.
nowhere
you just skipped a step, now you don't have to evacuate the system. But doing that on perpose could cost you a $25,000 fine.
The freon pipe broke and released all our air conditioning freon into our house. Is this dangerous and is it expensive to replace?
It costs about $120 to pump down and recharge the freon in an A/C.
Unfortunately, if the air conditioning system is factory original and has not been converted to use the new R-134a refrigerant, you cannot refill the system yourself. R-12 refrigerant is the old stuff, it must be charged by a professional and will be very expensive. They quit making it almost 15 years ago. Depending on your location is could cost upwards of $300 to get it recharged, and if the system is low then you probably have a leak somewhere so that might be $300 out the proverbial window. If you plan on keeping the van, I would suggest that you convert the system to R-134a. A local air conditioning shop can do this for you. I will cost more than just a refill of R-12, but in the long run, it will be much cheaper as the refrigerant is MUCH less expensive should a leak develop.
A heat-pump is the most cost effective air conditioning system. It will maintain the temperature in your home while expending the least amount of energy.
Your 92' Geo probably uses R12 freon, but since they don't sell that to just anybody in stores they will probably want to sell you R134 freon. I recommend that you just take it to somebody who has an air conditioning license that way he can get you the R12 that it needs. I wouldn't put R134 in your air conditioning system because it might harm it. Plus R12 is very expensive now a days since they don't make R12 systems for cars anymore cause it pollutes the atmosphere, but to tell you the truth it cools alot better than R134. R134 is sort of like the replacement of R12. A can of R12 can cost up to $30, and most cars need around 2 or 2 1/2 cans.
easily. Buy a converter from local parts store for r12 to r134 system should cost 6-10 dollars. Screw converter onto AC fittings and charge as a normal system Freon is about the same cost.
It is still possible to aquire R12 Freon, but the cost is excessive. My advice is to convert the system to R134a.
The cost of your ductless air conditioning system is going to depend on the size of the system. I found that single zone systems cost between $1100 and $1700 and the cost of multiple zone systems ranged from just over $2000 to close to $4000 (again depending on the number of zones).
