I spent 18 years in A/C and refrigeration.
Converting existing equipment to the new
refrigerants can be the biggest headache in the

you aren't properly licenced to be dealing in that
stuff, the EPA can hit you with some big fines.
They are trying to stamp out the black market for
CFC refrigerants. The best way to get rid of it is
to make a deal with someone in the refrigerat
