    Default R22 HVAC?

    I have a leak. Quoted $143 per pound? That seems crazy.

    Anybody here in the biz? I need a new coil. Or new system

    R-22 is expensive. You can change system to 407c but have to change oil to POE if mineral. You can also do MO99 with no oil change, but I would just replace the unit to a 410 system instead.

    That will work as long as he has an EPA license. They ask for it when I have bought off ebay

    I bought one a few years ago no issues. Have an old unit with a slow leak but runs well. Saved me a ton.
