Ensuring your aircon has the correct amount of gas is crucial for more than just immediate cooling. A timely inspection and top-up service protects your investment and ensures your unit runs efficiently for years to come.
Maximises Cooling Efficiency
A properly charged system allows your aircon to absorb heat and cool your room quickly and effectively.
Reduces Energy Consumption
When refrigerant is low, the compressor works harder to compensate, leading to higher electricity usage. Top up your aircon gas for a better price on your monthly bills.
Prevents Costly Compressor Damage
Low refrigerant can cause it to overheat and fail, leading to expensive repairs. A proper gas refill service protects this vital component from premature wear and tear.
Extends the Lifespan of Your Unit
By preventing system strain and ensuring all parts run under optimal conditions, regular gas maintenance helps extend the overall service life of your air conditioner.
At 81 Aircon, we believe in transparent pricing. The cost of an aircon gas top-up can vary based on the type of refrigerant your unit uses and the amount required. Below is an estimated price guide for our services.
Please note that an aircon system is a closed loop; if the gas is low, a leak is almost always the cause. For a gas refill to be effective, our technicians must first perform a check and repair any leaks.
The final price of your gas top-up is determined by several factors. Our technicians will always assess the situation and inform you of the costs upfront.
Our aircon gas top-up process is thorough and systematic, designed to address the root cause of the problem and restore your unit’s performance safely and effectively.
1. Initial System Inspection
Our certified technician begins with a comprehensive inspection of your aircon unit to assess its overall condition and check for obvious signs of damage or wear.
2. Leak Source Diagnosis
We perform a meticulous leak test using diagnostic tools to accurately pinpoint the source of the refrigerant leak.
3. Upfront & Transparent Quote
You will receive a clear, itemised quote detailing the price for the leak repair and the gas top-up. We only begin work once you have understood and approved all costs.
4. Professional Leak Repair & Gas Refill
Our expert team first repairs the identified leak. Once the system is secure, we perform the gas refill with the correct type and amount of refrigerant, as specified by your air conditioner manufacturer.
5. Final Testing & Performance Check
To conclude, we turn on your aircon and conduct a series of tests to ensure the leak is fully resolved, the gas pressure is stable, and the unit is cooling powerfully and efficiently.
When your aircon stops cooling, you need a fast and reliable solution. Choosing 81 Aircon for your gas top-up means entrusting your system to a specialist dedicated to providing honest, effective, and lasting results, not just a temporary fix.

The price for an aircon gas top-up in Singapore typically ranges from $80 to $180 per unit, depending on the type of refrigerant (gas) your system uses. However, the total cost will also include locating and repairing the leak, which is essential for a lasting solution. We provide a full, transparent quote after our initial inspection.
A gas top-up is only necessary when your aircon has a refrigerant leak. An air conditioner is a closed system and does not consume gas like a car uses petrol. If the refrigerant is low, it means it has escaped. We always fix the leak first to ensure the refill is a long-term solution.
The cost of a gas refill is not determined by the tonnage of your AC unit, but by the type of refrigerant it requires (e.g., R410A or R32) and the extent of the leak repair. Our technicians provide an upfront and honest price based on a full diagnosis of your specific aircon unit, ensuring you only pay for what is needed.
Ideally, never. Because an aircon operates on a closed system, you should not need to refill the gas for the entire lifespan of the unit. If you find yourself needing a top-up, it is a clear sign of a leak that needs to be professionally repaired.
The most common signs that your AC gas is low include:
If an AC runs with very low or no gas, it will not be able to cool your room at all. More importantly, continuing to run it in this state can cause the compressor—the most vital and expensive part of your aircon—to overheat and suffer severe damage, leading to much costlier repairs.
Our certified technicians are trained and equipped to handle all common types of refrigerant used in Singapore homes and offices, including R410A and the newer, eco-friendly R32. We also service older units using R22, subject to availability. We will always use the correct gas type specified for your aircon model.
No, we strongly advise against it. Handling refrigerant gas requires a license, specialised equipment, and technical expertise to be done safely. A DIY top-up is hazardous, and without fixing the underlying leak, it is ineffective. Always engage a licensed professional for any aircon gas refill service.
