And if so, can I do it myself?

Sorry I didn't search, work in 5 minutes no time to search Promise I'll search next time before I ask.

Looking forward to your reply!
Guess it really depends on what he means by 'valve system'. He could mean the High/Low side hookups for gauges/AC machine. Did he happen to give you a written quote/estimate?

If the valves are leaking, then likely the core just needs to be tightened up (unless it's damaged, then hopefully a replacement would fix it). Leaking out all/most of your refrigerant would be the cause of your warm air.
