It does not have to be charged with gas as it is already charged. He quoted something like $440. I assume now that only R134A would be available and probably need a fan fitted as well on old ones.

The new unit is then just screwed in place and the evaporator just slips into the case, hence the tubes that go through a slot in the top of the case wall. I would think this would be a very significant labour cost saving vs other systems,as it would take less than an hour.

Philip you are correct about the whole unit. Mine just got a gas leak.
I was quoted $600.
