AC Gas Refill · Delhi, Delhi
AC Gas Refill in Delhi
A large share of Delhi's installed base is still R22, on units old enough that a leaking evaporator coil is a real possibility rather than a remote one. That changes the economics: we trace the leak first and tell you honestly when a refill on an old R22 unit is money that would be better spent on replacement.

Why Delhi is different
Plumbing work in Delhi
Scheduled supply into flat-level or society storage means Delhi homes depend heavily on tanks, float valves and pumps. In the older colonies, galvanised supply pipe scaled internally is the usual cause of long-term pressure decline, and in subdivided kothis and builder floors, inter-floor seepage from an added bathroom is far more common than a pipe failing in your own wall.
Refrigerant is not consumed. An air conditioner is a sealed system, so if the gas is genuinely low, it leaked — and refilling without finding the leak buys you one season at most before you are paying again. Our technicians pressure-test and trace the leak first, tell you what it will cost to repair, and only then refill. That order is the whole difference between a fix and a recurring bill.
Common problems
AC Gas Refill faults we see most in Delhi
Each one written the way a customer describes it, with the cause behind it.
“Cooling faded gradually over a season”
Usually because: A slow leak, usually at a flare joint or service valve. Gradual is the signature — a sudden loss points at a bigger failure.
What we do: System is pressure-tested to find the joint, the joint is remade, and the system is vacuumed and charged to weight.
“Ice forming on the copper pipe or the indoor coil”
Usually because: Low refrigerant charge, or restricted airflow. Both drop the coil below freezing, and ice then blocks airflow further, making it worse.
What we do: Pressure is measured and airflow checked before anything is charged, since icing from a dirty filter needs a service rather than gas.
“Refilled last summer and it is low again”
Usually because: The leak was never found. A sealed system that lost its charge once will lose it again on exactly the same schedule.
What we do: Leak tracing is done first this time, and we tell you honestly if the leak is in the coil and a refill is not worth the money.
What the booking includes
- Pressure measurement to confirm the gas is actually low
- Leak tracing across joints, flare nuts, the coil and the service valves
- Leak repair where it is at an accessible joint or flare
- Vacuuming the system before charging — skipping this is why some refills fail early
- Charging to the manufacturer's specified weight for your model
- Cooling test with a measured temperature differential afterwards
What it does not cover
Listed so nothing appears on the bill that was not discussed up front.
- Coil replacement where the leak is inside the evaporator or condenser coil
- Compressor replacement
- Gas type conversion (for example R22 to R32), which needs different components
Pricing
AC Gas Refill charges in Delhi
Indicative Delhi rates for a normal job.
| Job | Indicative price |
|---|---|
| Gas refill — split AC, up to 1.5 ton (R32 / R410A) | ₹1,800 – ₹3,200per unit |
| Gas refill — split AC, 2 ton and above | ₹2,600 – ₹4,200per unit |
| Gas refill — window AC | ₹1,600 – ₹2,800per unit |
| Leak detection and pressure testingWaived where the refill is done with us in the same visit. | ₹600 – ₹1,200per unit |
| Flare joint / service valve leak repair | ₹500 – ₹1,200 |
These are indicative ranges for typical jobs, not quotes. You see the actual price for your job before you confirm the booking. A visiting charge of ₹99–₹149 applies where an inspection is needed, and it is adjusted against your final bill. Materials are billed separately and itemised on your digital invoice. Delhi is our baseline: figures on this page are the unadjusted NCR rates. Travel between neighbourhoods is short, most housing is directly accessible, and society entry is rarely a delay. Where a Delhi job does cost more, it is scope rather than location — older wiring and galvanised pipe take longer to work on than modern equivalents.

FAQs
AC Gas Refill in Delhi — common questions
How often does AC gas need refilling?
It should not need refilling at all. Refrigerant is not consumed the way fuel is — an air conditioner is a sealed loop, and the same gas circulates for the life of the unit. If yours is low, there is a leak. Any technician who tells you gas needs topping up annually as routine maintenance is either mistaken or selling you the same refill every year.
How do I know if I actually need gas or just a service?
Measurement, not guesswork. We check gas pressure during every service and record the reading. Low cooling with normal pressure means airflow — dirty coils or filters — and a service fixes it for a fraction of a refill. Ice on the pipe can mean either, which is exactly why it gets measured rather than assumed.
Can you convert my old R22 unit to R32?
Not practically, and we will tell you so rather than take the booking. R22 and R32 run at different pressures and need different lubricant and components; a conversion means replacing enough of the system that a new unit is usually the better value. We can still service and repair an R22 unit, and R22 remains available for refills.
