Since AI is the future, here is what AI says (which is basically sourced from a couple Reddit posts):

"The cost to repair an AC in Hong Kong varies by the problem, but basic repairs can range from approximately HKD $500 to $1,000, while major repairs like a compressor or refrigerant leak can cost HKD $1,500 to $4,000 or more. Inspection fees are often around HKD $500, with the repair costs and any needed parts being quoted separately. "

Basic repair US$64 - $129 Major repair $193 - $515 Inspection $64

Somehow, American HVAC prices are orders of magnitude higher than that.
