I didn't get an email.....but if you have the compressor it should have come with instructions which would tell you how much freon to put in, plus it usually tells you on the tag how many ounces to put in. Of course we don't charge then until we vacuum them down and test for leaks.

I'm not looking at one of those at the moment but if memory serves it's 4.25 ounces, you don't want to over charge because it will burn out the compressor after a short time.

Check your model number plate it will tell you your gas charge..If the old compressor had a burn-out you have to flush out the system..IF you don,t the system is contaminated and your new compressor won,t last long.
