It took the guy maybe ten minutes and ended up costing me like 50 bucks.
My cooling system lately has been giving me some trouble. I consider myself to be quite a handy person. The first thing I did was change the air filter. Then I shoved my vacuum hose in the inside of it to get rid of the rest of the dust. When that didn’t work I started taking the air conditioning system apart even further. I scrubbed the fan blades, mucked out the condensate drain and removed the mold from the cooling coil. Still it felt like my air conditioner was blowing tepid air rather than cold. I did some research and found that I just needed to add more refrigerant to the system. I started hunting around for refrigerants. It didn’t look that tough to add more to my system. Once I found refrigerant I ran into the snag while buying. Apparently you need to be licensed in order to purchase and put refrigerant in a system. I didn’t have the qualifications. To be qualified was quite difficult too. So I ended up having to call my local HVAC dealership to put some liquid in my system. It took the guy maybe ten minutes and ended up costing me like 50 bucks. I wasn’t too pleased with the cost but the guy did spend time in the car coming to my house. It is tempting to get certified so I can handle refrigerants. I bet I would never need to call for AC service again. I can do most of the things the AC professional does to my equipment.
