REFRIGERANT SERVICE
AC Gas Charging and Refrigerant Leak Repair in Kathmandu
Low refrigerant is usually a symptom, not a maintenance level. Our technicians check for leaks, confirm the refrigerant and system condition, repair the source where possible, and charge the system to the manufacturer specification.
Book Refrigerant DiagnosisA proper refrigerant service protects cooling performance and the compressor. We do not treat repeated “gas top-up” as a permanent repair.
Signs of low refrigerant or a leak
Weak cooling, ice on the indoor coil or pipe, longer running time, hissing sounds, oil marks near joints, and unusual pressure readings can indicate a refrigerant problem. These symptoms can also overlap with airflow or electrical faults, so testing matters.
- AC runs but does not reach the set temperature
- Ice forms on the indoor coil or suction line
- Cooling performance drops again after a refill
- Oil residue appears around a joint or component
- Compressor runs hot or trips protection
What a responsible service includes
The technician identifies the refrigerant from the nameplate, inspects joints and components, tests for leaks, repairs the failed section where practical, pressure-tests the circuit, evacuates moisture, and charges the correct refrigerant. Refrigerant handling should be performed by a suitably trained professional.
- Confirm refrigerant type and equipment data
- Find and repair the leak source
- Pressure and vacuum testing
- Correct charge by the equipment specification
- Cooling and operating check after service

Frequently asked questions
How often should AC gas be refilled?
A correctly installed, sealed system should not need routine gas refilling. If refrigerant is low, the cause should be investigated rather than treated as a normal annual service item.
Can you repair an AC refrigerant leak?
We can inspect accessible joints, coils, pipes, valves, and components and recommend repair or replacement based on the leak location, equipment condition, refrigerant, and parts availability.
Which refrigerant does my AC use?
Check the outdoor-unit nameplate or service documentation. Do not mix refrigerants or charge by assumption; the type and charge must match the equipment specification.
