I was thinking of the cost of this system....
125.00 in materials (metal, gaskets, sight gauge, pressure gauge etc)
500.00 at the very most for a brand new refrigerant recovery unit
(you could easily buy for less but may have to rebuild it, mine cost
200.00 but within a year I had to rebuild it for 100 bucks)
100.00 for recovery tank
30.00 for the lines
you could (with a few skills) put this together yourself for about 755.00 and quite possibly quite a bit less.
Compare that to commercial units which run 4300.00
What the commercial units do though is use no electricity.
But....I can also run this unit from start to finish in under an hour and at current electricity prices is under a buck.
Metal workers of the world unite hahahaha
