Howdy all!

Just found this forum, neat site! New to the scrapping world, I work HVAC so i come across junk condensers, evaporator coils and copper tubing for linesets. I am EPA certified so all the refrigerant is reclaimed (of course) before i begin cutting up. I have learned just by browsing here to cut off the metal ends with the circuit loops to get more for my coils. I would have never known that! Don't really have room or knowledge or means to scrap other stuff, so I will just stick to coils and copper for now. Nice to meet you all!

Welcome to SMF from Indiana...

Welcome! May your coils and copper be everything you need them to be!

Thanks for all the kind welcomes, glad I'm here

Welcome! If I had to scrap just one thing, ACs would be it!!

hi welcome=) now for coils what i do is i take out the copper tubes then i end up with sheet ali and #1 tubes 1.90 vs maybe 1.00 you get for them whole just my 2cents you make a little more doing it that way. i also dont count the time it takes to get them out either time is irrelevant when scrapping to me=) i sure would like to get a/c's as much as you do that copper would add up fast=)
