Gas Top-Up (Refrigerant)

Refrigerant Gas Pressure Checks & Top-Up

Your air conditioner relies on refrigerant gas to extract heat from your room and release it outside. If the refrigerant level is low, your unit will fail to blow cold air, consume more power, and ice may form on the cooling coils. Low refrigerant is usually a sign of a slow gas leak in the copper joints or evaporator coils.

NEXGEN offers professional refrigerant measurement and top-up services for all three standard gas types used in Singapore: R22, R410A, and the eco-friendly R32. We check your operating pressures using high-quality manifold gauges and top up the gas to the manufacturer's exact specifications.

Our Scope of Work

Our gas top-up service involves a precise measurement and filling process:

Check current gas pressure levels using calibrated manifold gauges
Identify the correct gas type (R22, R410A, or R32) of the system
Perform a visual inspection for gas leak indicators along joints and coils
Charge refrigerant gas safely into the system up to factory specs
Measure current draw of the compressor to prevent overloading
Verify temperature output to ensure optimal cooling performance

Frequently Asked Questions

Read common questions about aircon gas and top-ups:

  • How do I know if my air conditioner needs a gas top-up?
    Common signs include warm air blowing from the unit, ice or frost build-up on the copper pipes of the outdoor unit, or the system switching off frequently due to low-pressure errors.
  • How often should my air conditioner need gas top-ups?
    An air conditioner's refrigerant runs in a sealed system. If installed correctly without leaks, you should rarely need a gas top-up. A drop in pressure always indicates a slow leak that should be checked.
  • What types of gas do you top up?
    We provide top-ups for older R22 systems, high-efficiency R410A units, and the latest eco-friendly R32 systems used in modern air conditioners.
