How long should your AC hold vacuum?
When the vacuum pump is on for 30 minutes, close the low side valve and turn it off. At 28-29 inches, the system should hold. There is a large leak if the system never reaches 28-29 inches. There is a small leak if the system loses vacuum after the valve is closed.
