Aircon Gas Top-Up Singapore — Get Your Cold Back, Not Just a Refill

If your aircon is running but not cooling the way it used to, low refrigerant gas is one of the most common causes. Our Gas Top-Up service checks levels accurately and tops up only what's needed.

Watch for these

Signs Your Aircon Needs a Gas Top-Up

A few common symptoms that usually point to low gas levels:

Book a visit
  • Aircon runs but the room doesn't feel cold enough
  • Ice forming on the indoor unit or copper piping
  • Longer time needed to reach the set temperature
  • Hissing sound near the indoor or outdoor unit
  • Compressor running constantly without cycling off

The cause

Why Gas Levels Drop Over Time

Refrigerant gas doesn't get "used up" through normal operation — a drop almost always points to a specific cause.

Book a visit
  • Small leaks at pipe joints or flare connections over time
  • Wear and tear on older units with ageing copper piping
  • Physical damage to piping during renovation or nearby work
  • Manufacturing or installation issues on newer units, though less common

Why choose us

Why Homeowners Choose Us

Topping up gas without checking for a leak often means doing it again in a few months — we check first.

Book a visit
  • Leak check included before topping up, not just a quick refill
  • Correct gas type and pressure used for your specific system
  • Transparent pricing based on gas type and quantity needed
  • Advice given if a leak repair is needed rather than repeated top-ups

On the visit

What's Included

Here's the process for a typical gas top-up visit.

Book a visit
  • Pressure check — current gas levels measured against system specification
  • Leak inspection — piping and connections checked for visible or detectable leaks
  • Gas top-up — refrigerant topped up to the correct level for your system
  • Performance test — cooling output checked after top-up to confirm the fix

Comparison

Gas Top-Up vs Leak Repair

It helps to know which one your unit might actually need before booking:

Book a visit
  • Top-up alone suits units with a very slow, minor drop in gas over years
  • A confirmed leak should be repaired first, then topped up — not topped up repeatedly
  • Repeated top-ups within a short period usually signal an undetected leak
  • Older units with worn piping are more likely to need leak repair alongside a top-up

FAQ

Gas Top-Up FAQs

Still not sure? WhatsApp us at 8867 1617 and we'll help you decide.

How do I know if my aircon needs gas or just a service?+

If cooling has weakened but airflow feels normal, it's more likely a gas issue — our technician confirms with a pressure check on-site.

Will you top up gas even if there's a leak?+

We'll flag any detected leak first, since topping up without fixing a leak usually means the gas drops again soon after.

How long does a gas top-up take?+

Typically 30–60 minutes per unit, including the pressure check and post-top-up test.
