AC Gas Refill in Dhaka – Professional Refrigerant Recharge Service
When your AC stops cooling properly, the gas level is usually the first thing to check — and most of the time, that’s exactly where the problem sits. At Jeet Refrigeration And AC Service Center Ltd., we have been handling AC gas refills across Dhaka city since 2018. Our technicians come to your door, find the leak, fix it, and recharge with the correct refrigerant — whether it is R22, R32, or R410A.
No guesswork. No overcharging. Just proper gas refill that actually brings back the cold air.
How to Tell If Your AC Needs a Gas Refill
Most people wait until the AC completely stops cooling before calling for help. But your unit actually gives warning signs much earlier. Catch these and you save both money and the compressor.
AC Running but Room Not Cooling
The compressor works, the fan blows, but the room stays warm. Without enough refrigerant circulating inside, the heat exchange process simply does not happen the way it should.
Ice Buildup on Copper Pipes
Frost forming on the outdoor unit pipes or near the valves almost always points to low gas pressure. The evaporator coil temperature drops too low and starts freezing the moisture in the air.
Hissing Sound from Indoor Unit
A hissing or bubbling noise from the AC usually means refrigerant is escaping through a crack or loose joint in the copper piping. This needs attention before all the gas leaks out completely.
Sudden Spike in Electricity Bill
Low gas forces the compressor to run longer and harder to reach the set temperature. That extra runtime shows up on your monthly bill — sometimes 30 to 40 percent higher than what you normally pay.
Water Leaking from Indoor Unit
When gas is low, the evaporator coil temperature drops below freezing. Ice forms on the coil, and when the AC turns off, that ice melts and overflows the drain pan — dripping straight into your room.
Warm Air Blowing from Vents
You hold your hand near the AC vent and feel room-temperature air instead of cold. This is the most obvious signal — the AC is running, but it cannot produce cold air at all without adequate refrigerant.
Noticing any of these? Do not wait for the compressor to take permanent damage. Get in touch with us and our technician will check your AC gas pressure the same day.
AC Gas Types We Refill — R22, R32, and R410A
Using the wrong refrigerant can permanently damage your compressor. Here is a straightforward comparison of the three gas types we work with daily in Dhaka:
R22 (Freon)
- Gas CategoryHCFC
- Current StatusBeing phased out
- Found InOlder split and window ACs
- Cooling OutputModerate
- Environmental ImpactHigh (ozone depletion)
- Availability in DhakaLimited, getting scarce
R32
- Gas CategoryHFC (single component)
- Current StatusWidely used, industry standard
- Found InMost new split ACs since 2019
- Cooling OutputHigh (20% better than R22)
- Environmental ImpactLow (GWP 675)
- Availability in DhakaEasily available
R410A
- Gas CategoryHFC (zeotropic blend)
- Current StatusPremium, widely supported
- Found InInverter and high-end ACs
- Cooling OutputVery high
- Environmental ImpactZero ODP, moderate GWP
- Availability in DhakaAvailable, costs more
Not sure which gas your AC uses? Our technician will check the sticker on your outdoor unit and the valve type before starting any work. We never mix gases — that is a shortcut that ruins compressors, and we do not take shortcuts at Jeet Refrigeration And AC Service Center Ltd.
How We Do AC Gas Refill — Step by Step
A proper refrigerant recharge is not just about hooking up a cylinder and pushing gas in. Here is the actual process our technicians follow at your home:
Visual Inspection
We check the outdoor unit, indoor unit, copper pipes, and all joints for visible damage, oil stains (a leak indicator), and corrosion.
Leak Detection
Using a digital leak detector and soap bubble test, we pinpoint exactly where the gas is escaping — even micro-leaks that are invisible to the eye.
Leak Repair
We fix the leak first — brazing copper joints, replacing valve cores, or sealing cracks. Refilling gas into a leaking system is a complete waste of your money.
Vacuum Pumping
A deep vacuum run for 20 to 30 minutes removes all air and moisture from the system. This step is critical — skipping it leads to poor cooling and compressor damage later.
Gas Recharge and Testing
We weigh the exact amount of refrigerant your AC requires and recharge through the low-pressure valve. Then we run the AC for 15 minutes and verify cooling performance with a digital thermometer.
This entire process typically takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on the AC type and whether leak repair is needed. We never rush it. If you want to understand more about how we maintain ACs, check out our AC servicing in Dhaka page.

Why You Should Never DIY AC Gas Refill
There are plenty of YouTube videos showing people refilling AC gas at home with a cheap manifold gauge set. What those videos do not show you is what goes wrong afterward. Here is the reality:
Overcharging Kills Compressors
Every AC model is designed to hold a specific weight of refrigerant — not a range, a specific number. Pour in even 100 grams too much and the compressor pressure goes beyond safe limits. The extra load shortens compressor life dramatically. We use digital scales to weigh the exact amount your AC needs.
Skipping Vacuum Means Moisture Inside
When you open the AC system, atmospheric air and moisture enter the copper pipes. If you do not run a vacuum pump before recharging, that moisture mixes with the refrigerant and forms acidic compounds. Over weeks and months, that acid eats away at the compressor internals from the inside. Our technicians always run a proper vacuum cycle — no exceptions.
Mixing Gas Types Destroys the System
R22, R32, and R410A operate at completely different pressures and use different compressor oils. Putting R32 into a system designed for R22 (or vice versa) creates chemical reactions that corrode the entire system from within. This mistake is irreversible — the only fix is replacing the compressor or the entire AC.
Undetected Leaks Waste Your Money
If you refill gas without finding and fixing the leak first, the new gas will escape through the same hole. Within days or weeks, you are back to square one — except you have paid for gas that literally went into the air. We always detect and repair leaks before recharging.
Still thinking about doing it yourself? Consider this: a replacement compressor for a 1.5 ton AC costs between 8,000 to 15,000 taka in Dhaka. A professional gas refill with leak repair costs a fraction of that. The math is straightforward.
If your AC has not been serviced in a while, we recommend combining the gas refill with a full AC servicing package — it cleans the filters, coils, and drain, which improves cooling efficiency even further.
