1. There is a replacement for R22 which is called 407(?) - Great news for R22 clients
2. Mine despite being old was not R22
3. Recharge was for 2.5 lb ($50)
4. Main culprit was floor guys running the AC whole day so it caused icing of the coils
5. There was a tiny leak which JC's say can be fixed with $85 additive to Freon
Never in my life I was so happy to pay $300 for any house repairs.
5 thumbs up fpr JC's owner John Carmichael.

Glad to hear you lucked out. Otherwise it was like reading a mystery and losing the book before you read who don it. However, reread my post #4 and your #5. Some of the others seem to be from people who work or have worked on commercial AC.
Sort of like a race car mechanic telling you how to repair a bicycle.
In any case might be interesting to know who has the oldest still working air conditioning system in the villages? You may not be the winner but at 18 years you are in the running. POINT it is time to check your wallet or start rapidly saving for a replacement. Mine, where it is reminds me of some cars. They put stuff like the spark plugs in before the engine is installed in the car. To replace the spark plug you need to take the engine out of the car so no one does it. I have no idea how they would take my compressor out and put a new one in when it is needed. I'm sure it was put in before the house or surely before the landscaping which is now 9 years bigger.
