Found system iced up, thawed it out, and found high head pressure, and unsure of what Freon is in it. Decided to quote them a new system.

Alright guys, here's one where I'm going
to try to show you this was frozen up
when I got here and I'm letting it thaw out.
This is an R22 field charge system.
So right now I'm trying to determine what Freon is in it
and if it is mixed.
I have a high suspicion that my Freon is mixed.
the only thing that makes me think it's
not is this super heat is at 19 degrees
64 degree climb i may quote them
on this like i did that one before
to recover this freon and put
in r22 now this is a newer
condenser look at that over there
a newer condenser
but it's got like a
40 year old
air handler
in there let's go
in and look
at it real quick
that's a 1971
that thing's
50 years old that last one we
are dealing with a landlord
that probably don't want to change out
that system but i ended up quoting him a price to change out
because just replacing the freon is
like putting lipstick on a pig it ain't really
gonna help i mean yeah it might help a little bit
But a 50 year old air hammer and a 13 year old
condenser ain't never really going to g-haul that well
So I did give them a price to replace
We'll see if they actually let me do it. I hope so
