My ac hasnt worked for a year or so I decided to rip it all out. Since it doesnt blow cold does that me it doesnt have any freon and I can take it apart by myself without anybody have to reclaim the freon?

 

if you care about the environment, use a evacuation and recharge machine

 

Having all the refrigerant leaked out is only one way for AC to screw up. Until you troubleshoot it & find out, it's possible that it's still filled with refrigerant. I suppose you can get one of those $8 pencil-type AC pressure gauges & check whether it's actually empty.

 

How much does it usually cost to reclaim the freon?
