Moving Heat Pump

Hi yall

As part of our reno I need to relocate my split system reverse cycle Heat Pump and have a few questions.

1. Can I just undo the pipes and let the gas escape or is it still bad for the environment and I need a plumber to suck it out into a cylinder so to speak.

1a. Can it be left unconnected for a period of days, weeks, months?

2. When its cold it shuts down while it de-ices. Will it work better with a shelter over the outside unit?

3. Once its in its new place do I get a plumber to come back in and regas?. Is this a normal plumber or a refrigeration plumber.

4. What does a regas normally cost.

cheers
