R-11/R12 Banned (Score 1)

R-11 and R-12 are banned freons, you cannot purchase them "over the counter", R-11 requires that you have a halogen detector in the same room as the compressor - extremely hazardous. R-12 has zero heath risks associated with it, but was a CFC. Remember when then Senator Al Gore stood before the Senate Committee and feed than a line of crap so long that it make his boss Clinton a siant. R-12 and similar CFC's were banned. My point was that the "enviromentally freindly" replacement being shoved done our throats is very damgerous and should be handled with that in mind. It is not the system or it's design, its the freon choice your government has restricted you to. Hell im changing to Anhydrous Ammonia (R-717) (plant fertilizer) pull MSDS sheets on that one.
