Identify what is being retired.
List the outdoor unit, indoor components and associated items being removed. Retained equipment should be identified explicitly rather than assumed from an old photograph.

HVAC in Milton, WA.
HVAC in Milton should describe what happens to the old cooling equipment as clearly as the new system. Ask the provider to include refrigerant recovery, disconnection and the destination of removed equipment in the replacement scope.
Evergreen Home Pro helps you identify retained equipment separately from equipment being retired. Keep removal responsibilities visible when more than one trade is involved in the changeover.
Heating and cooling
Include refrigerant recovery in the equipment retirement plan.
EPA requires refrigerant recovery before disposal of central residential air-conditioning equipment dismantled on site. Ask the qualified provider how the applicable recovery and disposal responsibilities are handled for your actual system.
Assign refrigerant handling.
Have the qualified provider explain who performs recovery before dismantling. Do not treat a refrigerant-bearing unit as ordinary loose scrap.
Confirm removal and reinstatement.
Ask whether hauling, site cleanup and treatment of unused connections are included. Keep those items distinct from the replacement equipment price.
Before work begins
Coordinate Milton mechanical work and electrical review.
Milton’s Electric Division directs residential electrical permits and inspections to Tacoma Power. Confirm the actual mechanical and electrical work, including disconnection and the new system’s connections, with the appropriate providers.
Have the applicant identify each scope and inspection responsibility before the old equipment is removed; the electric utility account does not itself document approval of the replacement.
