[quote=Anonymous]For $1100 in testing, they should be able to tell you exactly where the leak was, which would be helpful information. It seems clear it is not in a fitting or line, which would be an easy repair. But I'm not sure what you mean by it being in the "system itself." Some parts replacements will cost more than 50% of the cost of the system, so there's a good argument for replacing the system. Other replacements will be expensive, but not so expensive to justify a full replacement.

Basically, some A/C companies are lazy and will suggest replacing a system that doesn't need to be replaced, especially where they work on commission. But there are also times where it probably does make sense to replace. I don't really see a strong reason to trust whomever you worked with, but I would at least get as specific information as possible out of your insanely expensive testing.

And no, I don't think you really have a remedy for what you paid already. If you could get some other A/C techs to definitively say you got ripped off, you might try demanding a partial refund. But if they don't give you one, its probably not worth pursuing further.[/quote]
