I recently had the opportunity to speak with a distributor of Freon Locking Caps. These simple, inexpensive caps lock down your freon lines to prevent two things: One, keeps freon from leaking out of the fitting and two keeps kids/adults from stealing your freon. Stealing freon is not new either is "Huffing" freon to get high.
After the death of a friend's son from inhaling freon from a neighbors A/C unit, I decided to use my influence as a real estate professional. What I do is recommend is this: You have a ticking time bomb in the open, on your property. You are liable for any accident that occurs on your property and should take reasonable care and lock up your freon lines. The small caps are very inexpensive and must be installed by an A/C company in most states. I had three of my customers a/c's fixed with these caps at the rate of $38.00 for the visit during the annual routine cleaning/maintenance. What little effort this took may prevent another tragic death of a child. For further information on Freon Locking caps, email me.
Looking for something to send out to customers and tired of recipes....send out a safety tip such as this.
Below is a photo of the caps.
