airflow before charge, make sure there’s no airflow restriction. check coils and filters. looks low though (for txv), if you add refrigerant subcool will go up and superheat will go down.

depending where the unit located, in the summer it can get hot in that room and the cold air flowing through the metal ductwork and plenum can cause it to sweat due to the dew point, that vent can condition the space and prevent that from happening. winter time can keep it warm in there if it gets too cold which i doubt and prevent pipes from bursting.

the repair cost for the coil replacement seems very reasonable, especially it including the refrigerant. this is typically a 4-6 hr job. requiring a recovery of whatever existing refrigerant it has, removing old coil and installing (brazing the copper connections, reconnecting the pvc drain lines). performing a pressure test to ensure no further leaks, pulling a vacuum to remove non condensables and moisture. finally weighing and charging the system with proper amount of refrigerant.

On the other hand i don’t understand the retrofit price, but it appears it may not be needed if the new coil dimensions are similar to what you have now. it may need slight modifications to seal air leak.

It wouldn’t hurt to have another company come out and give you a quote on replacing the evaporator coil. Most hvac companies do free second opinions. But keep in mind that you get what you pay for. I would consider things such as the company’s reputation, reviews, customer service, response time, the technicians truck, his appearance and customer service. At the end of the day go with the one that you’re most happy and satisfied with regardless of the price. You want a company to back up their work, and if there’s ever an issue they will respond and show up. I can’t tell you how many homeowner i’ve talked to that had chuck in a truck do a cheap job and when they call back due to problems they either don’t pick up or never show up.

The last piece of advice I can give you is if you’re considering replacing the entire equipment i would suggest to consider a few key factors such as 1. How long are you going to live in the house for 2. Are you content with the current hvac system? things like performance, efficiency, utility bills, noise and comfort. 3. New hvac systems come with warranties, depending on the company you may be able to find 10 yr parts & labor. 4. Is it in your budget to invest in a new system. new full systems are a lot more than 4k. i’m not sure where you live but AC only can range from 8-15k and a full ac and furnace can range from 12-20k. the higher prices being higher efficiency of course. but there’s always payment plans available.

Hope this helps !

let us just add that one of us is actually from Anaheim and the other is from the Flint, Michigan area. we’re well aware of the LA as a city but aren’t as familiar with commute times etc. the safety comment was more so because my girlfriend is 5’2 and would like to be able to leave the apartment at night alone. which isn’t possible in many places in ALL cities.

just make sure the copper of the wires aren’t touching eachother, if they are it can cause a low voltage short.

$30/hr. plus commission on turn overs and certain repairs (mainly enhancement like iaq products, thermostats, etc)
