AC Gas Refilling

AC Gas Refilling

Diagnose the leak first, then recharge properly

Topping up refrigerant without checking for a leak just means doing it again in a few months. We find the cause first, then recharge to the exact level your system needs.

Refrigerant doesn't get used up during normal operation — if a system is low, it's leaking somewhere in the line. Proper gas refilling starts with finding that leak, not just adding gas and hoping it lasts.

Common Problems

The AC runs but barely cools

Low refrigerant is one of the most common causes of a unit that runs constantly without bringing the room to temperature.

Ice forming on the indoor coil or pipes

Refrigerant running low can cause the coil to freeze rather than absorb heat properly, which then blocks airflow further.

The compressor cycles on and off rapidly

Incorrect refrigerant pressure can cause short-cycling, which strains the compressor and shortens its lifespan.

A recent gas top-up didn't last

If cooling dropped again within months of a refill, there's likely an unaddressed leak somewhere in the line.

Signs You Need This Service

Cooling has gradually weakened over recent weeks
Ice visible on the indoor unit or pipework
The AC has never had refrigerant checked since installation
A previous top-up wore off quickly

Benefits

Leak check before recharging
Refrigerant charged to exact spec
Restored proper cooling capacity
Reduced strain on the compressor

How it works

01

Leak detection

We check the refrigerant lines and connections for leaks before adding any gas, since refilling alone won't fix a leaking system.

02

Leak repair (if needed)

Where a leak is found, it's sealed or the affected fitting is repaired before recharging proceeds.

03

Precision gas recharge

Refrigerant is measured and charged to the exact specification for your system's model and size.

04

Pressure & performance verification

Pressure and cooling output are checked against expected values to confirm the system is running correctly.

Equipment & Technology Used

Electronic leak detector

Locates refrigerant leaks precisely along the line set, even small ones that aren't visually obvious.

Digital manifold gauge set

Measures system pressure accurately to charge refrigerant to the exact correct level.

Refrigerant recovery & charging station

Handles refrigerant safely and precisely during both removal and recharge steps.

Vacuum pump

Removes air and moisture from the line before recharging, protecting the system from internal damage.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, always — refilling without checking for a leak usually means the problem returns within months.
It's not typically dangerous, but it strains the compressor and can shorten the system's lifespan if left unresolved.
An unaddressed leak is the most common reason — our visit includes a proper leak check to prevent repeat visits.
Often yes, if low refrigerant is the cause; the ice needs to melt fully before an accurate diagnosis can be made.
Typically 1–2 hours including leak detection, repair if needed, and the recharge itself.
