How to remove air conditioners?

Post by StroppyChops »

Any frigies in the house?

I want to quietly remove the a/c plants and head units myself but haven't done anything with a/c's before. Can anyone advise on the process, especially on where I'd look for valves to trap the refrigerant gas? any other advice?

I'm concerned that the first night we're away from the place, we'd come back and find the locks changed. I've allowed 10 days after we actually move out to clear our electrical fittings, bog the screw holes in the wall, etc, but I've just scared myself on this point.

Yes, I know I'll lose the refrigerant in the lines - thanks.

After you move out, it might be a good idea to have someone sleep at the house for the next 10 days. Otherwise, the landlord will likely assume that you've gone for good.

If I were you I would have it done by a professional. He, after all, knows exactly what he's doing (presumably).
If you want I can give you a tel. # of an a/c guy.
