I've got this guy coming out Friday to replace the evap coil for
$750...I thought an AC company could capture the freon and use it
again?? This guy said he could not...is this not a common practice to
re-use the same freon if its not contaminated? Or am I being double
charged? :-)

Only $750?? Thats way too cheap... add a grand to that, and then your
probably dealing with a *legitmate* company. OTOH, replacing that coil is
throwing away good money when you will use a whole lot less energy and be a
lot more environmentaly responsible with a new system...... but its you
money, you can throw it away on an old system if you want. I hope you enjoy
giving all that "extra" money to the power company.

Hope the service company also cleans the condensor.

For evaporator repair, it's possible to pump the freon into
the condensor, and save it that way.

Unless its mobile home junk, no service valves on that crap, but you should
already know that.

Thank you for a polite and respectful comment (for once).
Yes, PTAC with tubes to blow air into mobile homes seldom
have shut off valves like residential and commercial
equipment.
