They aren't doing you any favors, Get at least another quote.

Also whoever does it shoud make sure that there isn't anymore to do especially with the lineset being that long.

Also whoever does it should pull a vacuum and change the filter drier if there is one on there. If not a suitable liquid line filter drier should be installed.

also a micron gauge should be used to determine that there aren't any other leaks

Am I to understand that a new line set was not installed? Is the new equipment R22 or R410a? I'll assume the old equipment was R22; correct me if I'm wrong.

In either case the line set should have been changed.

IMO

Hindsight is 20/20..... I had 7 quotes only one contractor wanted to change at the time of install. he was adding additional 500 dollars to do it then...I have no drier or micron indicators on the line either which is just making more upset....I am pleading assistance and a 2nd opinion from another company.. Yes it was 22 to 410a... ugh...What is a fair price... I am south fla.

You won't see a micron gauge installed on the lineset - it it just a tool that should be used during installation but will not remain on the lineset. Also, the filter drier is inside the outdoor unit itself -- this is common in many manufacturers.

The $1025 price for the lineset is sky high, and they certainly aren't taking any 'case' into consideration in terms of adjusting price.

What made you choose this company of the 7 total companies you met with? Did you bring up the idea of a new lineset with this installation company? Either way, a new lineset isn't always required or feasible if proper procedures are followed for reusing the old.

We are having the same exact problem. We got ours installed through Marcucci heating and airconditioning. Have had a horrible customer service experience with them. We are now going through getting estimates from other companies to complete the job.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, IM A FEMALE, I PURCHASED A CONDO IN 2013, MY CENTRAL AIR WENT OUT, NONE OF ESTIMATES RECOMMENDED CHANGING MY LINSET, I HAD TO MENTION IT BECAUSE IT IS ALUMINIUM, MEED TO BE COPPER AND I HAVE A LEAK, MY CONDENSER WAS ICY. NO ONE WANTED TO OPEN UP THE WALL TO REPLACE THE LINESET AND NOW THAT I HAVE A CONTRACTOR TO OPEN THE WALL, NO ONE IS RETURNING MY CALL., THIS LINESET IS ON THE SECOND FLOOR, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GARAGE WHICH IS WHERE MY IN THE WALL CONDENSER IS

I'm sorry you are having a hard time. When you called them, did you give any hint of a "difficult" job? I wouldn't until they come.

I'm no expert, so I'll let the pros here advise. To get more responses, please start your own thread, and don't use all Caps:)
