Surprisingly you should never need to have your split system or ducted air conditioner re-gassed. When your system is installed and all the industry required tests are completed the chance of your air conditioner leaking gas is very minimal.
If your system is nitrogen pressure tested and the pipes are evacuated to below 500 microns it should never leak for the life of the system.
Some common causes of gas leaks are as follows.
Often people are surprised that to regas a system without finding the leak is actually illegal. To add gas or regas an air conditioner the leak must first be found so that it can be repaired prior to the gas being added.
A qualified refrigeration mechanic can carry out a test to identify the leak and then complete the repairs.
Once the air conditioner gas leak is fixed it can then be nitrogen pressure tested to ensure the leak is fixed, followed by evacuation of the pipes to remove all contaminants and moisture.
Only once these steps of complete can new gas be added to your system.
From years of experience in the industry, we have come to find that most air conditioner leaks are due to poor installation practices. It’s really important that all the steps are taken during the air conditioner installation to ensure that the system is installed and tested to industry standard which will ensure the system lasts.
Nitrogen pressure testing and the evacuation of the refrigeration pipes are key to ensuring there is no tiny gas leak that could take up to a few years after the installation to leak out and cause your system to fail.
If the system is installed to these standards you can expect your home air conditioner to last anywhere from 15-25 years, depending on the brand.
Air conditioning systems have different types and quality of refrigerant gas depending on the brand, age, type, and size. Air conditioner regas is different for all situations, the first step is to find the leak and then an estimate can be provided for the repairs.
Each air conditioner gas type, such as R22, R410a, R32, have a different cost per kilogram. For example, R22 gas is now being superseded so the price of the gas is very expensive, and therefore this affects the cost of the repairs.
