Quick Self-Check

5 signs your AC needs a gas refill.

If your AC is on but the room never gets cold — gas is usually the reason. Here's how to tell.

Common signs your AC needs a gas refill
1 thermostat

Runs but the air feels warm

You set it to 18°C and the room stays at 28°C. The fan blows, but the air isn't cold. The most common sign of low gas.

2 severe_cold

Ice on the AC pipe or coil

Look at the copper pipes connected to the indoor unit. Frost, ice, or white powder means the gas is too low and the system is overcooling itself.

3 graphic_eq

Hissing or bubbling sound

Hissing means gas is leaking out. Bubbling means air is mixed in with the gas. Both need a refill and a leak check.

4 refresh

Runs non-stop without cooling

Your AC never switches off. It runs all day and the room is still warm. Without enough gas, it can't reach the set temperature.

5 trending_up

Power bill jumped

Same usage, but your SEC bill is suddenly SAR 100–300 higher. A low-gas AC works much harder and uses 30–40% more electricity.

checklist

What to do

If you see any 2 of these signs, book a gas refill. We come the same day in most areas.

Some of these signs can also mean your AC just needs deep cleaning. Our technician will check both before recommending a refill.

The Riyadh Factor

Why AC gas leaks happen in Riyadh.

A common myth: "ACs use up the gas like a car uses petrol." That's not true. AC gas is in a closed system — it shouldn't run out unless there's a leak.

So why do Riyadh ACs lose gas more often than others? The answer is the climate. Heat, sun exposure, and years of vibration slowly weaken every joint and seal.

Why AC gas leaks happen in Riyadh
whatshot

Heat damages the pipes

45°C+ summers cause copper pipes to expand and contract. Over time, this creates tiny cracks at the joints — the most common leak point in Riyadh ACs.

wb_sunny

Sun-baked outdoor units

Most outdoor units aren't shaded. Metal heats to 70°C+ and seals slowly weaken.

handyman

Cheap installation

Poor flaring or loose connections during install means gas leaks from day one — not from age.

graphic_eq

Vibration over time

ACs vibrate. After 5–8 years, this loosens fittings and creates micro-leaks at joints.

history

Old seals harden

Rubber O-rings and Schrader valves crack with age. The #1 reason 10+ year-old ACs leak.

priority_high

Why this matters for your refill

If we just refill the gas without finding the leak, the new gas will leak out in 1 to 3 months and you'll have wasted your money. That's why every Rahat gas refill includes a full leak check — we find the leak, fix it (or quote you for the fix), and then refill.

All Gas Types

Types of AC gas we refill.

Different ACs use different refrigerant gases. The wrong gas can damage your AC, so the type matters.

Types of AC refrigerant gas Rahat refills
R22 Older ACs

For ACs older than 7 years

Used in most ACs sold in Saudi Arabia before 2018. Being phased out worldwide because it damages the ozone layer, but still common in older homes. Harder to find now, so the price is higher.

Refill price

From SAR 350

Most common
R32 2018+

For most new split ACs

The most common gas in new ACs sold today. More environmentally friendly than R22 and cools more efficiently. If you bought your AC after 2018, it probably uses R32.

Refill price

From SAR 250

R410A Premium

For inverter & premium brands

Used in inverter ACs and many premium brands like Daikin and Mitsubishi. Operates at higher pressure than R22 and R32, so it needs proper handling.

Refill price

From SAR 300

Not sure which gas your AC uses?

Don't worry. Our technician checks the label on your outdoor unit before starting. Every AC has a sticker showing the gas type — and we bring all three types in our service van.

info

What if there's a leak?

We tell you the leak fix cost before any work starts. Most leak repairs are SAR 80–200 extra. You can choose to fix it or skip it — we won't refill if the leak is too big to hold the gas.

Our Process

How we refill your AC gas, step by step.

Refilling AC gas isn't just "connect a hose and add gas." Done wrong, it can damage your compressor.

Rahat 5-step AC gas refill process

Inspection & leak check

Listen for hissing, look for oil residue near pipes, use a leak detector on joints. If a leak is found, you get a quote first.

Vacuum the system

Remove all air, moisture, and old gas. Critical step — air and water mixed with gas damage the compressor over time.

3

Pressure test

Seal the system and check pressure for 5 minutes. If it drops, there's a leak we missed — and we hunt it down before refilling.

4
timer 15 min
scale

Refill exact amount

Weigh the gas as we add it. Each AC has a specific charge (700g–1.2kg). Too little = weak cooling. Too much = damaged compressor.

Test the cooling

Run for 10 minutes. Properly charged AC cools 8–12°C below room temp. You get a written report with the readings.

Total time: 45 to 60 minutes per AC.

Honest Advice

Refill alone, or refill + cleaning?

When you call us for weak cooling, we always ask one question: when was the last time your AC was cleaned?

Gas refill vs gas refill plus deep cleaning honest advice
lightbulb

Why this matters

A dirty AC and a low-gas AC feel the same — both give weak cooling. But the problem is different.

If your AC is dirty, dust blocks the airflow. If it also has low gas, the cooling becomes even weaker. Refilling gas without cleaning means your AC will still struggle to cool properly — the dust will stop the cooling from working at full power.

That's why cleaning + gas refill together give much better results.

Quick Diagnosis

Gas refill or full repair: which do you need?

Both can feel the same at the start — weak cooling, warm air, long running time. Here's how to tell them apart.

You need GAS REFILL if:

  • check_circleCooling slowly got weaker over the last few weeks
  • check_circleYou see ice or frost on the AC pipe
  • check_circleYou hear a quiet hissing from the unit
  • check_circleThe AC turns on, runs, blows air normally — just not cold
  • check_circleIt's been 2+ years since last refill (or never done)

You need FULL REPAIR if:

  • cancelThe AC won't turn on at all
  • cancelIt trips the breaker every time
  • cancelThe compressor or fan isn't running
  • cancelYou hear loud rattling, banging, or buzzing
  • cancelWater is leaking heavily from the indoor unit
  • cancelA burnt smell when the AC is on

"Honest team. They told me my AC was 11 years old and the compressor was on its last leg, so refilling would only buy me a few months. They suggested I save the SAR 350 and replace the unit. Real advice — I'll use them when I install the new one."

Got Questions?

Common questions about AC gas refill.

How often does an AC need a gas refill?add
A healthy AC should never need a refill — gas is in a closed system. If your AC is losing gas every 1 to 2 years, you have a leak. Don't keep refilling — find the leak.
How long does the refill last?add
If there's no leak, the refill should last for the life of the AC (8 to 12 years). If we find and fix a small leak, expect 2 to 5 years.
How long does the gas refill take?add
About 45 to 60 minutes per AC. With deep cleaning added, plan on a 2-hour visit.
How much gas does my AC need?add
It depends on the AC. Most home split ACs need 700g to 1.2kg. Window ACs need 500g to 800g. The exact amount is on the sticker on your outdoor unit.
What if my AC has a leak?add
We tell you the leak fix cost before any work starts. Most small leak repairs are SAR 80 to SAR 200. We won't refill if the leak is too big to hold the gas — we'll explain why.
Will the wrong gas damage my AC?add
Yes. R22, R32, and R410A are not interchangeable. Adding the wrong type can damage the compressor and void your AC's warranty. We always check the label before refilling.
Is R22 still legal in Saudi Arabia?add
Yes, R22 refills are still allowed for existing ACs. But R22 is being phased out globally, so the price keeps going up. If your AC is 10+ years old and uses R22, consider replacing it with a modern R32 unit.
Can I do a partial top-up instead of a full refill?add
Yes. If your AC has slightly low gas (and no leak), we can do a top-up for SAR 180. But for older units or if you don't know the history, a full vacuum and refill is better.
Do you guarantee the refill?add
Yes. 30-day warranty. If the gas leaks out within 30 days, we come back and refill free — and find the leak we missed.
Will refill alone fix my weak cooling?add
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If your AC is also dirty, you'll get much better cooling with the refill + deep cleaning bundle. Our technician will give you honest advice when he sees the unit.
Can you refill car AC gas?add
No. We only handle home and office ACs. For car ACs, please go to a car AC specialist or auto service center.
Do you refill gas for inverter ACs?add
Yes. Inverter ACs need careful handling because of higher pressure, but our team is trained on inverter systems.
How do I pay?add
Cash, card, Apple Pay, STC Pay, or Mada. You pay only after the work is done and the AC is cooling.

Pro tip

Refill + cleaning = save SAR 39 and double the cooling power

If your AC also needs maintenance, save by booking AC Deep Cleaning at the same time. Or if you suspect the issue isn't gas-related, book an AC Repair visit first — the visit fee is reduced from your refill bill.

Cooling weak? Don't replace it — refill it.

A SAR 250 gas refill can save you a SAR 3,000 AC replacement. Most weak-cooling problems are gas problems — and we can fix it the same day.
