Okay. Let me make a point or two here. I am not a licensed technician in this field, nor have I been to a refrigeration school.
That said, I have some experience in refrigeration from a long stint with a seafood company. After retirement, I wanted to put some of that knowledge to work in a home. The walk ins were a snap. They're already in place. But when I started to complete my idea, by building several large refrigerators at strategic locations in my kitchen(all under counter), a ton of issues popped up. Rather strange for such a straightforward task, is it not? I wasn't trying to acquire any of the tightly watched refrigerants the government gets so uptight about or anything. All I was going to do, was install a couple of compressors and condensers.
I had planned to have a local service individual complete the setup, and charge the system. Is this a reasonable thing to do?
In case you're wondering, it's our local community development officials who are having a cow. I live in Washington State if that means anything. Being retired, I'm bored. Decided to get creative.
