If your system starts to leak, then, instead of refilling with R12 you can convert to R-134A.
By the way, before long R-134A will be replaced by a new refridgerant called R-1234YF. That is really the name, I didn't make that up, lol.

I guess that needs again new seals and stuff, like going from R12 to R-134a was, where you needed all kind of new seals.
I did read sometime that whole freon being dangerous was proven to be false by some recent study, but hard to know for sure, these days there are so many claims that you don't know what to believe anymore.
Anyway air conditioning should be used regularly to keep it in working order I have been told, was that to do lubrication or what, I can't remember but it might be worth to keep stuff in and run A/C every now and then to be just sure.
