One of my mini splits is low on freon. Yesterday a bought a 50 pound recovery cylinder for $15.
I was trading a bin storage rack for an 80 cf nitrogen cylinder and he had some HVAC stuff for sale.
I only had $15 on me so he said that was good enough for the tank.
Today I found a Vortex Dual Refrigerant Recovery Machine that is a 2019 model he used once to take out r22 from his old system. They put in 410a system.
He is even shipping it in the original box.
I got it for $300 shipped. I bought it on mercari so I had to pay tax $321 total.
Slowly but surely I am getting outfitted for HVAC work.
