A lot of places don't like doing AC even if they have the gear. Older systems are especially renowned for having problems and it can become a real headache for a business to sort the issues, along with the unhappy customers who blame the workshop for not finding the needle in the haystack. No real money in AC apparently because customers want money back or free repairs when the gas leaks out a year later. $140 for a regas inc filter/dryer is not businesses make big money and rorting customers, just saying.
Fair Call, I can under stand that $140 isn't much,
however, its all done by machine now, with next to nothing labour content,
that is connect the hoses, de-gas it is done automatically with a press of a button,
And very similar with re-gassing.
Again, no disrespect to the honest A/C Techs, as I met a fair few over the years,
Especially the ones I knew in the Electrical Trade, they were good, and knew their stuff,
but hung up their hoses and gauges and retired.
But the cowboys are the ones giving the Refrigeration trade a bad name for all Fridgies.
