[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know when it's time to replace air conditioner versus just adding more freon? Repairman told us we needed a new unit b/c it was leaking freon. New unit is over $10k. How do you know for sure that you need whole new unit? [/quote] Start with how old it is. If it's 15-20 years - time to start planning. But I wouldn't replace now unless the leak is profound - I would look at getting freon topped off for now and plan to replace in Sep/Oct if that's the route you are going to go. I had a leak that, for what ever reason, seems to have "fixed itself".... I had to top off the freon and then two summers later had to top off again and then starting planning to replace it but it's been holding since then and this was all about 8 years ago. I have no idea of why/how it's been holding since then... My unit is from the mid 90's so I know I'm on borrowed time.[/quote]
