By law, to do such work, you must be ASE certified, and the shop you're working in must be EPA certified to perform work on AC systems, and possess the necessary equipment.
The refrigerant must be evacuated from the system - this requires a machine which does the recovery (it also weighs the amount of refrigerant recovered, which lets you know if more needs to be added or not).
When the compressor is removed, the AC system is opened up. This means that the receiver-drier (if it's a Thermal Expansion Valve system) or accumulator (if it's a Fixed Orifice Tube system) must also be replaced.
Business License
In many places, you do not need a license to purchase an R134a compressor for personal use. However, regulations can vary by country or state, and in some areas, you may need to be certified to handle refrigerants due to environmental regulations. It's important to check local laws regarding the sale and handling of refrigerants before making a purchase. Additionally, proper handling and installation often require technical knowledge to ensure safety and compliance.
Recently, my air compressor broke down and I'm wondering if there's parts to repair them or do I need to buy a new one?
repair liscence
Yes
yes,i need,i want to eran a certification or license.
I am looking for a home repair contractor to fix my sprinklers. Do they generally have a special license to do repairs?
If the compressor has failed internally there is really nothing a backyard mechanic can do to repair it except replacement. But leaking fittings, or a bad clutch pulley can be easily done. You will need to find out which problem you have and go from there.
Home freon and R-12 freon for vehicles (yes) but not R134a freon which you can get at any autozone..................
It all depends on the state your legal entity is operating from.
it goes in the low-side service port located on the compressor, not the connector that is on the metal pipe leading into the compressor, that is the high-side that will cause the can of freon to pop, plus you need to get a retro fitting kit to convert the system from R124a to R134a, and before you add any of the R134a make sure to purge the system completely of all R124a
you will need to add, most likely R134a, to the low pressure side of the compressor. this will be the larger of the two hoses going to the compressor. follow the large hose back until you reack a fitting, that is you lp fill nipple.
