I see the thread from the aop from the guy from Virginia who is having trouble with his hvac contactors and his leaking system. If he lives where I think he lives I have a recommendation on a company to call. How do I relay this info to him if I don't have an *?I know iI could apply for it but i am not readyfor it.

In the aop thread I posted that it would be best to find a competent tech, either one that was recommended by friends/neighbors, or to try a member of this site. I also suggested that if you did want to service the system yourself, you could get the proper training and certifications to do so.
I'm in Wisconsin, I do work for a large, multi-state company, but we don't do any residential work, and we're not affiliated with anyone doing residential work in Virginia either. I have nothing to gain and no interest from you hiring a contractor.
Thank you 5th Root... too bad there is not more helpful folks like you... that is all I asked.. and those prices will be a drop in the bucket compared to what I have already paid for this problem... please forward this list to the other folks here since none of them seem to know anything about it...
A regulator- $100
A tank- $100 to $200
A manifold- $100 to $200

Go to ripley products and get some nitro, that were I get it from. When the hell was someone going to tell me we get paid to be here?
Finding the leak is only part of the job. You won't be able to properly fix it out the correct tools, vac pump, recovery machine + tank, torches, gauges ect.

We arent here to guide you through how to complete a dangerous and complicated procedure. You can die working with pressurized gasses. We also cant be liable for white knights like yourself disregarding professional advise that is meant to keep you alive.
If you know you need heart surgery, and you go to a forum and ask how to perform heart surgery so you can do it yourself and save money, woould you be suprised if they told you that you need a profesional because its unsafe to do without training?
Your attempting to play with some dangerous stuff, and disregarding our advise might not only damage your pocket book, but may also damage your life.

I also told you according to the epa that before pressurizing the system with nitrogen, all the refrigerant has to be recovered by an epa certified technician. Or you could wait 6 more months for it to all leak out.
Hence why I told you to call a competent tech, rather than do it yourself. Giving a homeowner advice to break the law is not in the best interest of the site either.
Gary... are you saying that since Feb 2011 you have never gotten 1 single referral from this site... did they forget to put your little balloon on the map.. or is that something (advertsing you have to pay extra for)
But there is nothing wrong with getting a referral now and again for helping out here on the web.... people really appreciate that.. and just keep helping .... you will eventually get a referral especially if you keep on giving good answers...
I feel sorry for you if after 2 years you did not get a single referral... that is very unusual..

Most people are not here for that, there are 100s of professionals here, most of us want to share ideas and knowledge.
I don't have a dot on the map either. The map is a free service for professional members*, but not something my company was interest in.
So add to your costs
A recovery machine-$500 to $1000
A recover jug-$150
EPA 608 certification- ~$150 plus all the studying and 6 weeks for scoring
So for $1000 you can have the tools to find the leak. Lets not even get into fixing it yet

i have not got one referral, nor wanted one, my days are full. trust me people were just trying to help you on there own dime, and that's the truth. (i hang out here because there are alot smarter people then me, and that helps me along, i love what i do and want more knowledge, this site has some of the best in the bizz, ands its all free, they do it for the love of the job, and caring to help others. No money whatsoever.
Believe it or not, we don't get paid lol. As far as I know, the only ones making any money off this site are the owners, and they should, as simply maintaining this site is a full time job. I definitely don't get paid, I come here on my free time to bounce technical questions off of other techs and improve my knowledge and skills. The AOP section is a way for me to "give back" to the site in appreciation for all the help its given me.
As for the nitro, the welding shops in my area don't require a licence for it, it's easy to get. But as stated before, putting nitro in a system commits you to evacuating and properly charging your system back up. The tools for that alone are well over a grand, then there is the knowledge required, so proceed with caution!

You did not read the post... I did not ask for guidance.. EVER... but I am sure as hell getting plenty of it...
All I ever asked is the title of this post.. "Where to get Nitrogen?" you have no idea what my quals are and whether or not I have a pump down station.. which i do have.. since you commented on... and for all you know I may have a recovery station... but None if that has anything to do with the question... Where can I get nitrogen... and since I didnot immediatley shut up and hire a contractor some got their panties in wad...
Thanks again for the information on the Nitrogen... and now I see someone else has offered that info also and I appreciate that and that one may be less expensive..

thank you for the info... and that might be the cheapest place..
Sorry to piss you off about getting paid... and I know you dont' get paid just for answering questions, but what is the map all about for referring all the folks... you mean after you do all the work here you would still have to pay to get on the advertising map... but even when there I but mgmt gets a cut from every referral on the map.. nice map but could be a lot better since when I clicked on it so cluttered I could not see if VA was listed.. since it wont' blow up...

I thought you were leaving and weren't coming back?
You are right we don't know you and or your qualifications......
There are many ways to leak check an a/c system, Nitrogen is only one way
That being said....If you don't know what you are doing.....leave it to a professional before you get hurt or worse
Also Troll Away
