Hello,im looking at buying a 2nd hand split system air conditioner off
a mate of mine.The unit is still in the house,and im wondering if i can
remove it by just letting the gas escape and take the unit out or do i
have to get a service man to do the job?.Will it damage the unit if i
let the gas out and have it replaced when i have it installed in my
home?.
Cheers,Paul

I don't know what the regulations are in Oz, but here in the States you
could pay a hefty environmental protection fine for 'letting the gas
escape'. Don't you have enough skin cancer there already from the ozone
hole?

And yes, it will damage the unit if you leave it open to the atmosphere.

Call a service person.

After 24 years of slip! slop! slap!you'd think every Aussie would know
about the ozone hole problem, eh?

"One of the most successful health campaigns in Australia’s history was
launched in 1981, when a cheerful seagull in board shorts, t-shirt and
hat tap-danced his way across our TV screens singing a jingle that you
just couldn’t get out of your head:

Slip, Slop, Slap!
It sounds like a breeze when you say it like that
Slip, Slop, Slap!
In the sun we always say "Slip Slop Slap!"

Slip, Slop, Slap!
Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat,
Slip, Slop, Slap!
You can stop skin cancer - say: "Slip, Slop, Slap!"

The Slip Slop Slap slogan has become institutionalised, as the core
message of The Cancer Council’s SunSmart program for schools and local
communities."

Thank you for being a good sport, mate!

My wife and I love your country, especially the Atherton Tablelands.

Stay safe.
