Aircon Gas Top-Up & Refill.

R32, R410A and R22 refills — always preceded by a free leak inspection. If there's a hole somewhere, refilling without finding it just costs you twice.

Why leak-check first

Refrigerant isn't fuel. It doesn't burn off — it leaks.

If your aircon needs gas after three years, something on the line let it out. Could be a slow flare-nut weep, a Schrader valve, or a coil pinhole. Whatever the cause, just topping up gives you another six months of cooling before the same problem reappears — at full cost.

Our standard process is: bring the manifold gauges, check static and operating pressures, soap-test all visible joints, and only then quote a refill. If we find a leak, we quote the leak repair first. It's not the easy upsell — but it's the honest one.

What we do on a gas visit

Five-step refrigerant service.

Pressure read

Static then operating. Low-side and high-side noted. Brand & refrigerant type confirmed.

Leak inspection

Soap-test of flare nuts, valve cores, Schrader caps, accessible piping joints. Optional UV trace dye on chronic leaks.

Quote & consent

If a leak is found, leak repair is quoted before refill. If clean, refill is quoted with refrigerant type confirmed.

Refill to spec

Charged by weight on a digital scale to the nameplate spec — not "until it feels right".
