My a/c is not putting out cold enough air and that's about to become a big problem. I've had a couple of people out to look at it and am basically told:
1) my coil has a leak
2) my electric control is pitted
I'm not sure the 2nd one is a big deal, but have any of you fixed a coil leak yourself with any success? I'm doing some R&D before spending the obligatory $7,000+ on a new a/c. Current a/c is about 9 years old and was original with the house of which I've been the only owner since it was built (so read builder grade).
Compressor was replaced 3 years ago.
Model is an AirTron
I'm being pitched the option of replacing the coil, condensor and furnace and told that at a MINIMUM i need to replace the coil and condenser.
They also want to replace the coil with an R22 coil.
I was also told my contacts on the compressor were pitted.
Is there a do it yourself option for trying to fix the leak in the coil first before I sink 4 or 5 figures into my a/c?
