I'm not sure if it's nationwide, but in my area, they are phasing out 10 SEER units. most sell 12 & 13 now. So more $$$

if you do it yourself...depending on the size of the unit...

$400 - $1000

How are you going to buy one without an EPA license?

You don't need a license to purchase a unit.

However, I do have my license to purchase refrigerant.

I am staying at a Holiday Inn unitl it gets fixed

Well if it's sparking have someone check out the junction box - that's a lot cheaper than replacing the unit! Probably a wire nut or bug (split bolt connector) came loose and grounded out on the chassis. A fault like that will wipe out a fuse and cause the unit to appear dead.

I've never heard of a license to purchase refrigerant. Type I, II, III, Universal and 609 (automotive) EPA certifications perhaps.
