Default Heat Pump - Repair or Replace?

If you really think your ac guy is not doing things correctly, you
should mention to him that you are going to contact the EPA about all
the times he's had to add freon to it because of the leaks that he has
not properly fixed. I bet that will get his attention and your problem
would be resolved rather quickly.

What's he going to say to the EPA? A licensed, certified HVAC tech. is
having trouble repairing a refrigerant leak? Sounds like the guy was
replacing items as he found them leaking. "Every few months" sounds like a
decent size leak. He's probably got a gripe with the builder or the
responsible HVAC company. There really is no issue here that the EPA would
be interested in. There's no requirement to fix or replace a "small" system
because of leaks. In addition, it sounds like the tech's been making a good
faith effort to fix the problem.
