    Re: Is learning to remove freon worth it?

    It is. You generally take the tanks to an HVAC place. If you have an FW Webb around there, they'll probably take them. The tanks themselves are like a 250 dollar innitial investment, but when you take them in they exchange it with a new one with the 50 dollar disposal fee.

    Also you must know that you need multiple freeon tanks, hose setups and filters to work properly. You cannot mix freon types in the recover tanks at all. You'll get charged up to 10 dollars PER POUND when you exchange your rank, so be very careful.

    You'll see when you start learning about it, there's a lot to it. Refrigerators alone hold all different types of freon. So if you snag 5 fridges somewhere, and you evacuate them all into one tank without checking to make sure they all have the same freon first...your SCREWED!



    Well I hope that helps. CLICK ON the little red heart so I can get some feedback power lol!
