  1. If you are asking this question then you need to hire an HVAC tech. This is not a do it yourself project and the cost of equipment verses the frequency with which you'll use it does not warrant the expense verses paying a pro to do it for you.


  2. HVAC Tech.: If you are asking this question then the first thing you need to know is that it would be ILLEGAL for you to attempt to preform this procedure. Up to 5 years in jail and a $ 10,000.00 fine. You need to be certified by the E.P.A. Then you would need special tools to do the job. The cost of those tools plus the training  make it a better choice for you top hire the work done by a professional and get a warranty on parts and labor. Good luck!!

  3. Pressure test with dry nitrogen to make sure that there are no leaks or else the vacuum will be for nothing and you will pull a bunch of moisture in the system and foul up the compressor if any leaks are present.
