AC gas refilling: signs, myths and what to ask
An AC does not use up gas. Low gas means a leak.
An AC does not use up gas
Refrigerant circulates in a sealed system. It is not burned like fuel. If your AC is low on gas, there is a leak somewhere.
Signs of low gas
- Weak cooling
- Ice on the pipes or the indoor unit
- A hissing sound
- The AC runs all the time without reaching the set temperature
Why topping up is not enough
If a technician only adds gas, the leak is still there. Cooling drops again within weeks. The leak must be found and repaired first.
What a proper refill includes
- Leak detection
- Leak repair
- Vacuuming the system
- Refilling the correct quantity of gas
- A cooling test
