Try your local rental place. Look in the yellow pages under "tool
rental". You can get the refrigerant at any True Value Hardware. It's
in the garden section with the Scotts fertilizer. Just ask em, they
will know what you're talking about.

OTOH, if all this fails, you should call a HVAC company. But try at
least three or four tool rental places in case they have a right
handed freon optimizer in stock. Can't hardly keep em on the shelf now
days at the rental places. Get the 24 hour rental, the new ones will
need the extra time. Four hours isn't enough.

how to check & refill refrigerant?

I have the Trane XE1200 Air Conditioner, 4 tons, 12 SEER, model number
TTP048D100A0 since 1999 in Northern California for a 2 level 2100 sq
ft
home.
According to its label, it shows refrigerant to be HCFC-22 is 8lbs
10oz?

Can you please tell me where to get a meter to check the refrigerant
level?
(any used one for occasional use, like once a year). And where to buy
refrigerant to fill it?
I was told that as long as my AC is giving cool air, its refrigerant
level
is fine?
