A/C has a slow leak -- down to ~1lb after 12 months. I'd be happy to just recharge the system every 12 months, rather than do a complete rebuild. But, R12 is such a hassle to deal with.
I've seen some very inexpensive R12 --> R134 conversion kits (less than $50) in local stores -- gauges, oil and R134. Do these kits work? Or, can they cause problems?
Are there other options, and how much do they cost?
What is a reasonable price for a rebuild?
Thanks in advance.....
