Refrigerant
Cost Calculator

How much will it cost to recharge your AC? Calculate by refrigerant type, pounds needed, and whether it's a DIY or contractor job.

How Much Does Refrigerant Cost?

R-410A costs $15-30/lb wholesale, but contractors charge $50-150/lb installed. R-22 (Freon) costs $50-150/lb due to the production phase-out. A typical AC recharge of 2-4 lbs costs $150-$600 total including the service call.

Why You Keep Losing Refrigerant

AC systems are sealed — they don't "use up" refrigerant. If you need a recharge, you have a leak. Common leak points: evaporator coil, condenser coil, service valve caps, and Schrader valve cores. Repeated recharges without fixing the leak is expensive and environmentally harmful.
