Default Air Conditioning Plumbing Question

AC refrigerant lines are some what different than water lines. For
example, refrigerant lines don't use compression fittings. You may
have been thinking "flare" fittings. Easy misteak to mayk.

Not a good idea. Have an AC tech come out and find the leak, if that
is the
problem. It is not a simple matter of a plumber running new tubing as
you
would for water. He will have a leak detector and can probably
pin-point
the leak in a short time. Lines have to be evacuated and charged and
must
be done by a licensed operator.

It may be something simple like a loose compression fitting and it is
repaired and the system re-charged. Figure any house call is going to
be
$100 minimum though.

Some jobs are best left to a pro. This is one of them.
