age of the unit, that information is very difficult to find. However, similar
units manufacture nowadays is roughly about $700.00-$1,000.00. If you are speaking

inside the cabinet on the left side wall.

You shouldn't ever have to add freon to an a/c system. It is a closed system - like your refrigerator. When was the last time you added freon to your refrigerator or home a/c when there wasn't a problem?
If you are needing to add freon, then you have a leak somewhere that needs to be repaired. Your local automotive technician can diagnose the problem for you. Freon should only be added by trained professionals. If you don't know what you are doing, you can charge the system incorrectly causing significant damage to the system.
If you still want to do it yourself, reference this article. You will need a set of A/C Gauges, and freon. Do NOT put any type of stop leak into the system - this can cause irreversible damage to the compressor.
Whether as a gaseous or liquid coolant, Freon aids in refrigeration, air conditioning and maintaining aerosol contents under pressure. Not only can this toxic chemical expose the earth to excessive ultraviolet rays, but the substance can also sicken those who inhale it in an enclosed atmosphere.
Detecting the signs and symptoms of a Freon leak will protect lives, ground water and air quality.
Cardiac arrhythmia can signify the presence of leaking Freon. A person without a history of irregular heartbeats might suddenly detect heart palpitations and faulty blood circulation upon exposure to a Freon leak. The blood circulation problems may also lead to numbness in the limbs.
General Illness
A Freon leak can cause nausea, headaches, bouts of regurgitation and general disorientation. Confused thinking and trouble walking or coordinating movements also may result. Severity of illness depends on the amount of Freon released and the length of time exposed. A fire department can provide solutions and guidance for anyone detecting a Freon leak and suffering from its effects.
can't tell exactly, too many variables, your low side pressure should be about 50 - 60 lbs, ( this is merely a guide ) temperature affects this reading. a simple way to tell is add freon and watch you indoor coil if possible. when the entire coil is sweating you are full. if only partial sweat is visible add more, a little at a time, it takes several minutes for this to circulate.
