Signs your AC is low on refrigerant
- Weak cooling — air is not cold enough
- Ice on the thin copper line or on the indoor unit
- Outdoor unit runs for long periods without cycling off
- Hissing or bubbling sounds near the joints
- Oily stains at pipe joints or on the outdoor unit
- Higher electricity bills for the same usage
How a proper refill is done
- Reading the refrigerant type and factory charge from the nameplate
- Measuring running pressures with a manifold gauge
- Leak detection at flare joints, valves and coils
- Repairing the leak (tightening, brazing or replacing the joint) before charging
- Evacuating air and moisture (vacuum) when required
- Charging the correct amount — no over- or under-charging
- Checking amperage and outlet air temperature afterwards
Why a top-up alone is not enough
If gas is added without fixing the leak, it will be low again within weeks or months, you will pay again, and the compressor may be damaged by running at low pressure. That is why leak detection is a core part of our service, not an optional extra.
Never mix refrigerants
Every AC is designed for one specific refrigerant and matching compressor oil. Mixing R-22 with R-410A, or charging a gas other than the one on the nameplate, reduces cooling and can destroy the compressor. We always follow the type and charge printed on the unit.

Frequently asked questions
Does AC gas run out naturally over time?
No. Refrigerant circulates in a sealed circuit and is not used up. If it is low, there is a leak at a joint, coil or valve that must be repaired before recharging.
How do I know which refrigerant my AC uses?
It is printed on the nameplate sticker on the side of the outdoor unit or inside the indoor unit — usually R-22, R-410A or R-32, with the charge in grams or kilograms.
How long does a gas refill take?
The charging itself can take under an hour; repairing the leak and pulling a vacuum when needed adds time depending on where the leak is.
Will a refill fix every weak-cooling problem?
No. Dirty coils or filters, a failed capacitor or a dead fan can cause the same symptoms. We measure pressures first and only add gas when a shortage is confirmed.
