    The document summarizes the current issues with the AC system for an admin building and provides possible solutions. The key issues are that the AC units are 40 years old, well beyond their recommended 15 year lifespan. They use an obsolete refrigerant and spare parts are no longer available. The compressors are running at lower capacity than designed. The coils and piping are degraded. Repeated gas leaks and brittle piping are also problems. Three options to address these issues are presented - replacing just the compressor, installing new split units, or fully replacing the condenser, evaporator and other major components. The costs and pros/cons of each option are outlined.
