I'm big on DIY, especially when it gets me new tools, but A/C "tools" are not cheap.



When the OP gets back from taking it to a pro I hope he posts what it cost him. I'll wager that it's close to the equipment price.



If you are clever, some the equipment costs are close to nothing. I setup a vacuum pump once from 5000 BTU house a/c someone poked a hole in the condenser.

The fill kits from Autozone are cheap, I have been using one for years and don't even bother getting out manifold set and hoses.

Around here in CT, a/c shops are NOT cheap, $200-$300 min bill.

I have several cars and you never know when someone will need a repair on the weekend ($$$), I keep cans on hand and even have a few 30 pounders of R-12
