I have a leak in the A-oil and need to replace it. However my clearances seem to be a problem. I spent bucks two years ago to replace the condensor outside and now it is empty of freon again. I have 18 1/2 inches above my furnace. How do I find a "low-profile" A-coil? Not sure of the brand on the condensor but the furnace is a high efficient Heil with just one pipe for exhaust air out. Old but not that old, still works great and really dont want to replace it if I dont have too. Options? Please Help, Marsha.

Might try Johnstone Supply if you can buy from them.

Unfortunately, I dont think we have one of those in my area plus I am the home owner. I really need some direction. I thought I hired the right company to fix my problem and it really feels like I was taken for a ride. Im beginning to think I really didnt need a new compressor. What would be a reasonable price to pay to have someone to check for a leak in the A-coil? Can the A-coil be fixed if there is a leak? AAhhhhhh

Someone, not sure who, makes a low profile "N" or "W" style coil.
Sometimes a leak can be repaired, sometimes not. Depends on where the leak is.

Depends on the tons of cooling. It's not uncommon for a 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 ton coil to be 17" - 18 1/2" tall.
