Re: Removal Advice?
If your AC is still charged, there will be freon under pressure when you crack the lines loose.
Let me state the standard disclaimer that its illegal to vent freon into the atmosphere. The law requires you to pay someone more money than the freon is worth to remove it. That said, keep your hands from around it when you crack the lines loose as it will get real cold, real fast. And don't breathe the stuff. If you chose to just release the freon, I wouldn't go around telling folks about it. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Removal Advice?
There's no simple way to capture the freon yourself. It takes an expensive machine.

Re: Removal Advice?
My local A/C shop evacuated mine for no charge - they just got to keep the refrigerant. better than just letting it go.
