The refrigerant is about 50 dollars a pound. So that plus whatever the company charges per hour for labour. You can charge a system within an hour. But if your two ton system needs 6 lbs. of refrigerant it must have a bad leak(s). Those should be found and repaired first.

Due to the eventual phase out of R22, the price has increased drastically the past few years. Companies will charge between $80-140per/pound, depending on how much they paid for the cylinder.

A leak in any refrigerant system has to be tracked and repaired first. Then, the system- Indoor unit, outdoor unit and interconnecting pipes- has to be pressure tested for an ahour. Following that and in case of success, it will be vacuumed and charged with freon. Charging by weight as per unit label is the best way to go and additional charge of freon MAY need to be added if the interconnecting pipes' lengths exceed the allowable lengths by manufacturer.
