Technician B is correct. According to EPA regulations, certification is required to operate a refrigerant recycling machine. Disconnecting the air conditioning lines and draining the refrigerant in a pan is also not acceptable as it releases harmful chemicals into the environment. The proper way to service an air conditioning system is to recover the refrigerant using a certified machine and dispose of it properly.
