Is it your own home or a rental?
If yours, then it's probably worth doing some
work and replacing that entire sleeve assembly.
Best option: You can get "mini splits" which
are far, far, more efficient and quieter. $1,600
should come close to covering a brand new
assembly.
Note that while most require a professional HVAC
installation, there are some that come with "pre-charged"
refrigeration lines.
