Aircon Gas Top-up

Typically, it would be best to have your air conditioning serviced to ensure that it is adequately topped up once every one to three years. Some clients, on the other hand, prefer to aircon gas top-up every six months. It may be due to the minor leaks that are unavoidable in any air conditioning system. Please keep in mind that this is not required until our air conditioning experts discover that the refrigerant storage unit is empty before the end of the six months. Our air conditioning experts will check the pressure in the system.

If your Air Conditioning is not extremely chilly, it may indicate that you need an aircon gas top-up in Singapore. On the other hand, if your Air conditioner is blowing hot air, you may need Air conditioner repair. Nonetheless, we will explain when you will need an Aircon Gas Top-up level of a certain amount.

 

Types of Aircon Gas

Aircon gas is a household commodity that the people in Singapore use every day. There are two types of aircon gas that are commonly used in our country, R22 and R410. R22 is a type of freon gas which has a low global warming potential and does not contain chlorine. This type of aircon gas is the most commonly used aircon gas in Singapore because it provides cool air with low energy consumption rates. As for R410, it contains chlorine so it has a higher global warming potential rate. However, this type of aircon gas provides cool air with lower energy consumption rates when compared to other types of freons such as R-12 and R-134a.

R22 Gas

When discharged into the environment, the R22 refrigerant used in air conditioners is classed as an HFC (Hydrofluorocarbon). This chemical has the potential to deplete the ozone layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. As a result, its usage is being phased out throughout the globe, with some nations even outlawing the use of this gas in the manufacture of air-conditioning systems altogether.

An R22 refrigerant also aids in the removal of water generated during the cooling process from the refrigerant system by absorbing it. This is critical in preventing the refrigerant component from being contaminated with water, which would hurt its operation. When the R22 refrigerant in the unit has to be replaced, it has become a costly chemical.

R410 Gas

R410 Gas is a flammable gas that is produced by the combustion of hydrocarbon fuel. R410 is the most recent refrigerant to be introduced to the market by air-conditioning manufacturers.

Peron is the most widely used brand name for this particular chemical compound. It has the same cooling efficiency as R22 refrigerant, but it is not harmful to the environment when it is exposed to sunlight.

Because just a tiny amount of chemical is required to provide the same cooling effect as R410, storing it within the air conditioner is considerably more straightforward. It is a cost-effective alternative for manufacturers since it provides additional design choices for their air conditioning systems.

410A Freon (also known as Freon 410A)

410A Freon (also known as Freon 410A) In systems specially built for R-410A, the refrigerant Freon (R-410A) provides considerably greater cooling capacity and significantly higher pressure than R-22. R-22 is being phased out favoring this hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant, which is compatible with polyolefin (POE) oils.

 

Aircon Gas Top Up Price

The cost of R22 gas varies between $40 and $120. Using R410 gas will cost you between $80 and $150 in refueling expenses. If the R22 gas is used in conjunction with a chemical overhaul, the cost of the gas top-up will be cheaper. It costs $60 – $150 to install R410 gas when it is done in combination with a complete chemical service.

 

Aircon Gas Top Up Process

First, we examine and feel the cooling coil with our hands to determine whether a gas top-up is required. If the cooling coil is not sufficiently chilled, we will examine the level of the air conditioning gas. Following that, we will check to see how much gas is left in your unit.

The price of air conditioning gas will be determined by how much gas we need to top up. Following that, we will fill up the gas tank with more gasoline. We will use the gauge to check the gas level one final time before we go. Finally, we will examine the other components to verify that everything is functioning correctly.
