There are EPA requirements for the techs to repair leaks depending on how much refrigerant has been lost. Assuming you have actually lost refrigerant and how much has been lost, the techs may be required to find and repair the leak before recharging the system (assuming they comply with the EPA requirements). If they find a leaking evaporator coil that needs to be replaced, you should think about replacing the entire system.
