My understanding is cost for a survey is typically based on length. The rate you pay for insurance after the survey will vary as you point out. Jeff

I removed the above system after finding pitted copper supply lines. it was working well when it held refrigerant. Components in good condition Contact me off line if interested. Mike Fair Second Wind
