One Rooftop AC Not cooling
I have dual rooftop ACs and an intellitec management system. Unfortunately, on this older model there is no amperage draw system. It has 30 amp service labels. I have an onan marquis 5500 generator. 1...

Today I went up on the roof. I brought a variety of tools, including a clamp on ammeter. I had my friend Al helping me downstairs with passing of items and flicking switches. At first, the compressor tripped the circuit and was powered down. I then went to look at the caps. I unplugged, discharged, and tested all 3. All 3 tested and visually inspected ok. Plugged them back in, had Al turn it on, and the compressor fired right up. Unfortunately, however, it did NOT produce cold air.
At this point, I think its reasonably safe to say that the coolant has leaked, and there is also potential for complete compressor failure.
Is it worth it to have an HVAC guy hop up on the roof and try to refill this thing? I checked and it is sealed. Ends would need to be cut open, pump applied, and then crimped closed again. I assume there is a tool that does all this without leaking the gas. If the fluid is indeed gone.... there is a leak somewhere right? That could be anywhere in the system.
