Questions about gas recharge
How often does an air conditioner need a gas recharge?
There is no annual recharge interval for all units. Refrigerant circulates in a closed circuit. If performance drops, the cause is diagnosed first and a leak is checked for before proposing a recharge.
How do I know if my air conditioner is low on gas?
Weak cooling is not enough to confirm it: there may also be dirt, airflow restrictions or electrical faults. The technician must assess the operation and condition of the system; avoid paying for a recharge based on that symptom alone.
Can gas be recharged without fixing the leak?
If there is a leak, recharging without addressing its cause can make the problem come back. The leak is located and assessed first; then the repair and the recharge procedure suited to the unit are defined.
Which refrigerant does my AC use: R22, R410A or R32?
The rating plate and the manual show the unit’s refrigerant. They are not interchangeable and must not be mixed. Send a photo of the plate to confirm which service applies; the quote depends on the model and the work needed.
How much does an AC gas recharge cost in Asunción?
The reference for repairing a leak at flare-nut joints plus recharge is 350,000 Gs. for 12,000 BTU, 400,000 Gs. for 18,000 BTU and 450,000 Gs. for 24,000 BTU. It applies to the refrigerants and conditions described on this page; other leaks are quoted separately.
Can a new air conditioner also need additional refrigerant?
Depending on the model and pipe length, an installation may require an additional amount stated by the manufacturer. That is different from a recharge due to a leak. The technician must check the unit’s specification and the actual pipe run.
