[quote=Anonymous]You definitely got ripped off on the testing. That is ridiculous. However, Freon is exceptionally expensive so the refill amount sounds about right. And, yes, regulations changed a few years back regarding Freon usage. As I understand, the systems use a different cooling fuel now than they did 10 years ago, so to the extent you replace a condenser, you need to replace the entire system at once, i.e. you can't do it piecemeal. For whatever reason, this logic also applies to moderate to major repairs -- I know that once the repairs surpass a certain price point or repair level, you can't just repair -- you need to replace. So the subsequent logic of replacing your entire system was right. Too bad they ripped you off for $1100 of testing prior to that. You should see if that amount can be applied to the cost of the new system. [/quote]
