Safe Air Conditioning Unit Removal

Old air conditioning units suck up energy and cause you to waste your hard-earned money on high electricity bills. If your air conditioning unit is old and not very energy-efficient, it’s time to play catch-up with technology and invest in a newer, better-functioning unit.

But before you wrench your air conditioning unit out of your window and dump it onto your truck in anticipation of a trip to the landfill, wait and learn. It is not recommended for you to dispose of an air conditioning unit on your own. Not only is it illegal for you to dispose of such units yourself, it’s also potentially harmful to you as the handler.

Air conditioning units made in the mid-1990′s and earlier contain chemicals called refrigerants. These chemicals ensure the cool air is blown out of the unit in order to regulate room temperature. They are harsh chemicals which are known to contribute to the destruction of the Ozone layer. The ozone layer is the component in our atmosphere that protects all of life on earth from harmful ultra violet rays. Needless to say, for this reason, the United States government has regulated the release and the use of refrigerants such as Freon.

The proper disposal of items that contain refrigerants require the use of a certified piece of equipment which aids in releasing the refrigerant. The chemicals are then recycled. However, you cannot take charge of this yourself. This procedure should be done by an HVAC technician or a similarly certified professional.
