R12 is coming down in cost, while 134 is going UP in price. By the end of the summer, the price may very well be the same for these two refrigerants.

The condensor is not too expensive and is one of the easiest a/c components to get at. If the leaking condensor is the only problem you have, you will get off pretty cheap. Changing to another refrigerant would save you only a very few dollars on the overall bill and you will have substandard a/c performance as a result.

I have seen people spend tons of money and LOTS of time to change to a less expensive refrigerant. The end result is that it costs them MORE to change than if they would have just repaired the problem and stayed with R12.

Good luck,
