AIR EVACUATION (for models that needs that --- https://ductlessaire.com/wp-conte...lation.pdf, page 29): I see folks making a deal about air evacuation. I went ahead and read a little bit (but I am an Electrical and Computer engineering professor / researcher from the "NASA mission to the moon" days with enough practical / theory knowledge under my sleeves). It appears to be very straight forward requiring only two tools costing a total of $100 and you are working on the low pressure side. I realize "License and certification are required by law". They are put in place for personnel safety but should not to used to stifle the competition or talent. Yes, I have been told that I can't buy a controller board for my furnace (and I found a way) etc. If I can finish my Ph.D. when only few got that coveted degree, can't I ace those license exams too but is that necessary for each and every one of a kind work I like to do? And what is the need for papers when one is talented?

Along those lines, I recently read, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak: 'It's time to recognize the right to repair' , https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/09/te...index.html

I know this comment is not exactly related to this product but is worth considering.
