    I don't remember the terminology, but the refrigerant is different than it used to be. It is not user serviceable anymore because it is considered hazardous now.

    Thanks, I couldn't remember the names. I just did a search and found this http://www.id-usa.com/how_to_recharging.asp

    So, maybe you can charge it? I think maybe it's releasing it that is hazardous.

    yeah...you can charge the system with the refrigerant kits you can buy, but i think you have to be certified to release/capture it. i think so anyway.
