A little FYI about draining freon. There are three main types of refrigerants in older appliances. Dichloroflouromethane, Trichlorofluoromethane and monochlorofluoromethane. All three are different mixes of the same three gasses; fluorene, chlorene and methane. None of these three refrigerants are lighter than air and at ambient temperatures will seek the lowest places. At ambient temperatures in open air they eventually seperate and dissipate. At which time the methane, which is lighter than air, rises and the fluorene and chlorene sink because they're heavier than air. However, it is the latter two which are blames for eating a hole in the ozone layer. So! How do these gasses get several miles into the upper atmosphere to eat up the ozone?
Explanation; DuPont made freon and when the patent ran out you could buy a 1 pound can for as little as ,79 cents. DuPont funded the enviro-nuts who made up the fluorocarbon scare and freon was banned! So who do you think stepped in with the new 134a refrigerant to save the day at several dollars per can? DuPont! Explains a lot doesn't it?

This scam has caused the licensing of all A/C and refrigeration businesses and literally tens of millions in extra cost to the consumer over the past few years.
I've found over the years that knowing the truth about a matter doesn't help much. It just raises the blood pressure.
