Refrigerant is expensive. R410A is $5500 per skid now and R22 went up from $2000 per skid to $5000 per skid. That translates to something like $18 for 410A and $16 for R22 per pound. I don't keep up with the rates of 134A because we don't stock that in our shop. lol

If you have a 2 wire low pressure switch you can jump it to start the compressor as your charging the system. Some GMs like my wife's 93 Lumina has a ground switch that until the correct pressure is reached it won't come on. On those you need to evacuate then add the freon, the vacuum will suck in enough freon to allow the switch to close to start the compressor. My 97 Blazer 4x4 has a 2 wire low pressure switch on it. Hope this helps.
I stockpiled R12 when it was still legal to purchase. So I have not had to switch yet. Is it true that the AC does not get as cold with a 134 conversion? That is what i have had other people tell me but I do not know if it is true or not.
