It is a violation of Federal law to do this without locating and fixing the leak if you need more than 15% of the units total charge. A reputable contractor will not risk the fines and penalties to do this. I am not trying to alarm you, only stating a fact that the days of the blow and go have been over since 1993 and you should be prepared for whomever you call to tell you he needs to find and fix the leak first so when he does this you`ll know he is not lying to you. This will add to the cost of the call.
depends on freon type,quanity,hourly rate of hvac co.
AnswerAssuming it is R-22 which retails for about $5/ lb. and a system capacity of less than 6# with a service call less than $100, about $130. What I would suggest though, is to get your leak fixed. You should not ever have to recharge a system unless it has a leak.

To purchase a home AC you buy the unit and that includes installation. Depending on the unit it will cost from 8,000 and up. I just recently put a new one on the house and the entire cost was 12,000, but I also replaced the ducts.
Unit cost is how much is costs to make. Unit price is how much you sell it for. The difference is profit.
A home sauna installation can cost anywhere from one thousand dollars on up, according to the type of sauna unit you purchase and how much renovation or construction is required.
You do not recharge coolant, you replace it. If you are referring to refrigerant in the A/C unit, then first you need to have the leak repaired. It would not need recharging unless it is leaking. It is illegal to add refrigerant to a system that is leaking without repairing the leak. This is a job for a professional with the proper tools and knowledge. This is not a DIY repair. The cost depends on where the leak is.
Go to Autozone and there you will find a recharge kit with a CD with instructions on how to recharge your vehicle.
How do i Recharge AC Unit for a 1998 Dodge Stratus
Well, if the unit was originally meant to be recharged with the old freon, a kit is needed to allow recharge with the new.
If you need to have a home AC recharge you most likely have a leak. Depending on the unit it could be a simple and inexpensive fix (if you know the repairman). The coils are similar to brake or fuel lines and can be repaired with a flanging tool. Some coils are packed or wound so tightly that they cannot be repaired at the leak. If the fan and motor are running and the repairman says that its a total loss, FIRE HIM!!! Then call the BBB. An entire coil system can be replaced for about 1/4 the price of a new AC. About $500-$700. Don't forget, you may also have a coiling system within the furnace.
