What's up yall. I got my ac system checked out recently because it was'nt chillin anymore and the tech guy said it has a bad evaporator and condenser. As well as a bad hose. I'm considering repairing it but it's a bit costly. It got recharged at the shop and some new refrigerant put in it and right now it's working good. It gets super cold. I had it checked out about 2 weeks ago and it's still working good. I was wondering, what if I get it fully recharged and refilled would it hurt the system to run it like that. If not, how long would the charge probably last. The tech guy said it could last for months. Anyway if I could get away with recharging the system instead of repairing it, then i'd rather just recharge it because it'd be much cheaper. Any advice anybody?

I dont know too much on the subject but i would say you just have to think about it, do you want to get it repaired and hopefully never have to worry about it, or atleast a good amount of time, or use time now and then and money to get it recharged. Just a thought.

sounds to me like the guy is just guessing. That's a big area of problem for such a small leak. Take it somewhere else to get a second opinion.
