you mean you will HAVE to have a HVAC come leak test and fill the system due to laws about buying refrigerant. which still should only be about another 200.00

In case you havent figured it out, KARL IS the HVAC tech. You just have to be really nice to him.

yup, but being really nice to him would mean paying his ferry ride over to the island, feeding him and paying for the freon, which would be 200.00 anyways.. I can always take it into work and do it myself but when I looked into a titanium tub exchanger it was almost 300.00 and a 1/2 hp compressor unit was another 400.00 so it wasn't worth my time to make my own.

but I am interested in seeing what he uses for a DYI exchanger.

Why do you assume there will be problems?

Add me into the interested catagory. Exactly how many need to respond before the real thread begins? If you need more numbers count me twice.
