The AC guy just left. As soon as he saw the unit, he said, "I can tell you
what the problem is, it is out of freon." I said, "Oh, good, then you can
just fill it up!" He said, "No, that's not good, because I can fill it up
but it will just leak out again."

Grin, see where my 'freon' comment came in?

He could not tell me how long it would take to leak out again. He could
tell me that a new system, with new ductwork is going to run something
like $7K to 9K.

New duct work shouldnt be needed I would assume.

I told him we would have to take our chances and hope the freon would last
for a while.

Good call. Looking below you arent out much money with that route if it
doesnt work and may be like me, 6 years later you need it again g

Technician recommends: System upgrade due to age and efficiency. Very
highly recommend replacing system. Leak search test $35 per 1/4 hour."

If it starts failing in 2 weeks, try that?

What say you experts?

Dunno! I'm not an expert here on this one!
