Air Conditioner Gas Top Up Brisbane – AH Air Conditioning

Why Choose AH Air Conditioning for Gas Top Up?

When your air conditioner is not cooling as well as it should, low refrigerant may be the cause. AH Air Conditioning provides gas top up services across Brisbane to restore your system’s cooling performance. We diagnose gas levels accurately and add the correct type and quantity of refrigerant.

Refrigerant does not get consumed during normal operation. If your system needs topping up, there may be a slow leak that should be investigated. We check for leaks and advise on repair options to prevent recurring gas loss.

What to Expect from Our Gas Top Up Service

Our gas top up service includes thorough assessment before adding refrigerant.

• System pressure testing to determine current gas levels
• Identification of refrigerant type (R32, R410A, R22, etc.)
• Basic leak check to identify obvious leak points
• Addition of correct refrigerant to manufacturer specifications
• Performance testing after topping up
• Recommendations for further investigation if leaks are suspected

A gas top up typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. If significant gas loss is detected, we recommend comprehensive leak detection before adding more refrigerant.

When Gas Top Up Is Needed

Brisbane homeowners may notice these signs of low refrigerant:

• Cooling performance has gradually declined
• System runs longer to reach set temperature
• Air from vents is not as cold as it used to be
• Ice forming on indoor coils or pipework
• System struggling on hot days when it previously coped well

Minor gas loss over many years is normal in some systems. Significant loss over a short period indicates a leak that needs proper repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a gas top up cost in Brisbane?

Costs depend on the refrigerant type and quantity needed. Modern R32 and R410A refrigerants are readily available. Older R22 systems cost more as this gas is being phased out. We provide pricing before proceeding with any work.

Is gas top up a permanent fix?

If your system lost gas due to a leak, topping up without repairing the leak is a temporary fix. The gas will eventually escape again. We recommend leak detection and repair for a permanent solution. Some systems may have minor seepage that allows infrequent top ups.

Can I top up my air conditioner gas myself?

No. Handling refrigerant requires an ARCtick licence in Australia. Refrigerants are controlled substances and improper handling is illegal and dangerous. Only licensed refrigeration technicians can legally purchase and handle refrigerant gases.
