Air Conditioner Gas Refill

Regular gas refill or top-up is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of an air conditioner (AC). The refrigerant, commonly known as coolant, is essential for absorbing heat from the indoor air and releasing it outdoors, thus cooling the interior space. Over time, the refrigerant level can drop due to natural usage or leaks, leading to a decline in cooling performance. During a gas top-up service, a technician checks the refrigerant level, ensures there are no leaks, and refills the gas to the appropriate level. This process involves shutting down the AC, attaching gauge hoses, and carefully adding the refrigerant. It’s important to ensure that the AC components, like air filters and coils, are clean and that all fans are functioning properly to guarantee optimal cooling after the service.
