    By law, it is illegal to vent freon into the atmosphere. Its somewhere around a $23,000 fine, plus anyone can turn you in for something like a $12,000 reward. So if your system is still full of freon, either get a company to come reclaim it, or make sure nobody sees you do it.

    Wow! That's a stiff penalty!

    What if it's a slow leak? Can you put the fine on installments?:D
