Let me know in the comments what you think! Here is my answer:

Absolutely it is! The savings here can be MASSIVE. Like $7,000 in savings, massive. If you are mechanically minded and understand what is involved in doing this job safely, you can absolutely do it yourself. As a reminder, anyone who is handling refrigerant should have their EPA 608 certification which I show you how to get in out HVAC Training Videos as mentioned at the end of this video.
Below you will find links to where you can find tools, equipment, and resources to help you tackle this job.
