re: A/C outside unit raising cost

This comment shows the ignorance of this board. There is no need to "pump down" the system. You simply compress the refrigerant all into the condensor unit outside using the system compressor. I would explain how but no one here knows what the hell i'm talking about anyways so why bother. After that would be done then yes you would have to cut the suction and discharge lines, braze extensions, and install a new drier/filter after dry out with N2 and then vacuum the system. Also the cost of whatever "lift" that was built. All in all not cheap if done right. Very cheap for me because I know how to do it.?

"Pumping down the system" is not necessarily equal to evacuating the system.

You jumped the shark.

pumping down the system"====compressing the freon into the compressor: same, same.

Again the ignorance here humors me.

Into the compressor? LOL

I had enough slack on my lines and they used a soft copper so I was able to build a frame with 2x4 and use four jacks and pick it right up. Worst case scenario I have a EPA license and all the equipment to repair a leak, but it went well and was easy as hell.

But $500 don't sound bad for the work.
