I will probably more than likely complete the course.
This statement expresses uncertainty....
Congratulations, especially at completion in only 4 days!
Congrats! Much cheaper then $139!!
Question
If its legal to sell with an I promise note, then if a 19 year old walks into a store and signs a promise not to drink the beer, then why can't they buy it for someone else? Same thing, right?
Same with ammo, cigarettes, guns...
Why is there an EPA compliance class needed at all and why doesn't everyplace just sell to everyone if promising not to use the product is good enough?
It's just a tool the feds can use to bust people.
We can drive a car with a borrowed drivers license too, just don't get caught.
The course describes how harmful the R-12 and other refrigerants are if discharged into the atmosphere. Considering how many air conditioners and refrigeration units are existing in todays world, it's probably a good thing we have a watchdog group.
But the guys that do this as a hobby and discharge a can of R-12 into the ozone, won't end the world tomorrow, although there is a $10,000 fine for doing just that..... licensed or not.
Keep in mind this course does not cover troubleshooting compressor components or soldering techniques, but Youtube is helpful there.
A vacuum pump is available from Harbor Freight Tool for a little over $100 and the rest of the hand tools and guages needed cost me about another $100.
I still call my professional refrigeration guy for the tough jobs, but it's nice to be able to do the simple jobs myself.
