  1. I just bought a Robinair Cool-Tech 34788. Have any of you guys been using this model? Are you pleased with it? What other recovery/recycle/evacuate/leak test/recharge units can you comment on?

     

    For leak detecting, we're presently using dye, UV light, and sporty yellow glasses. Would a digital leak detector be a big improvement? Can anyone recommend a good one?

     

    How are you guys pricing a basic recovery, recycling, and recharging job (no

    repairs are included)? Extra charges for refrigerant?

     

    Are there a lot of comebacks for this type of service? What warranties/disclaimers/customer service advice can you guys share on this topic?

     

     

    I have always used Robinair. 5 years ago I bought a new machine and it had an internal leak or something after a year. Robinair replaced it for free!!!

     

    $189.99 for an A/C evac and recharge with die. I offer free leak check and free recharge for one week if a leak is found in that time and the customer returns for a leak check in a week.
