This is for all of the air conditioner people out there. I called (Finally, after 4 months) about two window ac's that I have had for a long time. Anyway, I called the a guy about getting them drained, and he said quote "they are not worth it to drain them, as you have to put new freon in them to get the old stuff out. There is less than one pound of freon in them. Just bleed them out slowly, and don't drill a hole in them as you'll get oil all over your face." I said thanks and hung up. .... WHAT!!!!!! I just wasted like three months of my time trying to contact you, and I find out that I should just cut the lines because only the commercial units have to be drained by regulation. Have any of y'all heard of this? This guy was legit and runs his own business less than a mile from my house.
I DO NOT ADVISE ANYONE CUTTING FREON LINES IN ANY APPLIANCE CONTAINING FREON. YOU CAN GET ARRESTED, FINED, AND PUT IN JAIL FOR RELEASING FREON INTO THE AIR.
