5 Signs Your AC Needs Gas Filling

  1. Weak Cooling:
    If your AC struggles to cool your room even after hours of running, it’s likely due to low refrigerant levels. Refrigerant is the “blood” of your AC—it absorbs heat from your home and releases it outside. When levels drop, the system can’t efficiently transfer heat, forcing it to work harder and consume more energy. Ignoring this can lead to compressor burnout, which costs far more to fix than a simple gas refill.
  2. Ice on Coils:
    Frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils is a red flag. Low refrigerant reduces pressure in the system, causing the coils to freeze. This not only blocks airflow but also strains the compressor. Left unchecked, it can crack the coils or damage the blower motor, requiring expensive repairs.
  3. Hissing Sounds:
    A hissing or bubbling noise often signals a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant gas escapes through tiny cracks in pipes or joints, creating these sounds. Pro tip: Turn off the AC immediately to prevent further damage and call a technician—inhaling refrigerant is hazardous!
  4. AC Tripping Frequently:
    Low refrigerant forces the compressor to overwork, causing it to overheat and trip the circuit breaker. Repeated tripping can permanently damage electrical components, leading to a full system replacement.
  5. Unusual Bills:
    A sudden spike in energy bills? Your AC might be running nonstop to compensate for poor cooling caused by low gas. This inefficiency can increase energy costs by up to 50%, draining your wallet.

Why Do ACs Lose Gas?

Refrigerant isn’t “used up”—it’s designed to stay sealed in the system. However, leaks can occur due to:

  1. Wear & Tear:
    Over time, vibrations and temperature changes weaken copper tubing and joints, creating micro-leaks. Older units (10+ years) are especially prone.
  2. Poor Installation:
    Improperly fitted copper tubes or loose valves during installation can leave gaps for refrigerants to escape. Always hire certified technicians for setup.
  3. Physical Damage:
    Rodents chewing wires, corrosion from moisture, or accidental punctures during cleaning can create leaks.
  4. Manufacturing Defects:
    Rare, but faulty welds or weak seals in new ACs can lead to early leaks. Regular AC maintenance catches these issues under warranty.

6 Tips to Prevent Gas Leaks

  1. Annual Maintenance:
    Schedule a professional checkup from maqsood and sons before every summer specially if your in rawalpindi and islamabad. Technicians use ultrasonic detectors to find leaks, clean coils, and test pressure levels—saving you from costly surprises.
  2. Clean Filters Monthly:
    Dirty filters block airflow, forcing the compressor to overwork and raising pressure in the system. This stress can worsen existing leaks.
  3. Avoid DIY Repairs:
    Refrigerant handling requires EPA certification. DIY attempts risk fines, health hazards (e.g., frostbite from contact), or worsening leaks.
  4. Upgrade Old Units:
    ACs older than 10 years often use outdated refrigerants like R22 (banned in many countries). Modern units with eco-friendly R32/R410A are leak-resistant and energy-efficient.
  5. Monitor Cooling Efficiency:
    Place a thermometer near vents. If the air isn’t 15–20°F cooler than room temperature, suspect a gas leak.
  6. Choose Certified Technicians:
    Our certified team uses nitrogen pressure tests and electronic leak detectors to fix issues safely. Bonus: We recycle old refrigerant to protect the environment!

FAQ'S

Yes, we offer gas refilling for all top AC brands of pakistan in very reasonable prices

A 1.5-ton AC typically requires 1.2–1.5 kg of refrigerant, depending on the model and type (split/window).

The cost ranges on average from PKR 3,000–8,000 in , depending on:

  • Gas type (R22, R410A, R32).
  • Quantity needed.
  • Service charges.

Well it varies, and depends on type of gas but a general cost is:

  • R22 (older gas): PKR 1,500–2,500 per kg.
  • R410A/R32 (eco-friendly): PKR 2,500–4,000 per kg.

No it is not advisable to do at your own.Only professionals can accurately check using pressure gauges and temperature measurements. But you can check:

  • Weak cooling.
  • Ice on coils.
  • Unusual hissing sounds.

R410A or R32 are mostly used because they are :

  • Eco-friendly (no ozone depletion).
  • Energy-efficient.
  • Compatible with modern ACs.

Yes but not recommended, only licensed technicians can do this because if:

  • Safety risks (refrigerants are hazardous).
  • Specialised tools required.(which are not available to common person)

R32 and R410A are safer than older gases like R22, which harm the ozone layer.

Here are few tips if you want your AC should use less gas:

  • Set temps to 24–26°C.
  • Use Eco/Energy-Saver Mode.
  • Clean filters regularly.
  • Don't use for long period of time.

No. Refrigerant is essential for cooling. Without it, the AC blows air but won’t cool.

You can’t check accurately without tools, but signs of low gas include:

  • Warm airflow.
  • Ice buildup on coils.
  • AC running nonstop.

If gas is low then you can expect:

  • Poor cooling(even at high temperature).
  • Higher electricity bills.
  • Compressor damage (if ignored).
