Compressor or
condensing unit, the price you pay is double what the installer's

pays. In fact, everything they use, fittings, copper, freon, is doubled

Of course I stocked up on a lifetime supply of R-12 in 1990, and R-22
later, when it was still cheap and legal. I'll bet you pay more today
than
I did then, carrying costs included.


Oh....my....

Richard...you know you need to pay a hefty tax on that much R12...I sure as
hell hope you have reported it...cause I know of about 10 that just did.
