Weak cooling or heating
The unit runs for longer but cannot reach the selected room temperature.
Air con refill and regas for heat pumps, mini splits and AC units. F-Gas certified engineers across London. From £120+VAT.
Our air con refill service restores the correct refrigerant charge in heat pumps, mini splits and multi-split AC systems across London, following leak checks by F-Gas certified engineers. Prices start from £120+VAT.
Refrigerant circulates inside a sealed system, so a unit should not need routine topping up. A falling charge normally indicates a leak, an earlier commissioning error or refrigerant lost during repair work. We diagnose the reason before recharging.
We work on domestic and commercial air-to-air heat pumps, wall-mounted mini splits, cassette units, ducted systems and multi-split air conditioning. The visit includes initial fault checks, refrigerant identification, leak assessment, charging by weight where appropriate, operating-pressure checks and performance testing.
All refrigerant handling is carried out by F-Gas certified engineers in accordance with the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations 2014, commonly known as the F-Gas Regulations 2014. We recover refrigerant responsibly and never vent it to the atmosphere.
Reduced cooling or heating is the most common symptom, but it does not always prove the charge is low. Dirty filters, blocked coils, failed fans, sensors and controls can produce similar problems. A qualified diagnosis avoids unnecessary refrigerant and expense.
The unit runs for longer but cannot reach the selected room temperature.
Low pressure or restricted airflow may cause frost and ice around the indoor coil or refrigerant lines.
A small leak can produce a faint sound or leave oil residue around joints, valves and damaged coils.
Modern systems may stop and display a fault code to protect the compressor from an unsafe operating condition.
We confirm the symptoms, inspect the indoor and outdoor units, read fault codes and check temperatures, airflow and operating pressures. This establishes whether low refrigerant is the likely cause or whether another fault is reducing performance.
The circuit is checked for signs of leakage around flare joints, valves, coils and pipework. Where required, we use electronic detection and an appropriate pressure test. Any leak and repair recommendation is explained before charging begins.
Approved repairs are completed, the system is pressure-tested and a vacuum is pulled to remove air and moisture. We do not use refrigerant as a substitute for proper evacuation or charge a system with a known unresolved leak.
The correct refrigerant is weighed in to the manufacturer's specification. We then run the system in heating and cooling modes where applicable, verify temperatures and pressures, and record the completed work for your service history.
Looking for an aircon refill near me? Our engineers attend homes, offices, shops, restaurants and server rooms across Central London and the wider capital. Coverage includes North, South, East and West London, the outer boroughs and many towns near the M25.
Air con refill and regas starts from £120+VAT. The exact quote reflects the refrigerant, charge quantity, system size, access and any leak detection or repair. Larger multi-split, VRF, heat pump and refrigeration systems may require more refrigerant and additional testing time.
We explain the findings and price before proceeding. Refrigerant is not added to a system with a known unrepaired leak. If repair is required, you receive a clear scope so you can make an informed decision.
Our air con refill and regas service starts from £120+VAT. The final price depends on the refrigerant type, the charge required, access and whether leak detection or repair is needed. We confirm the cost before adding refrigerant.
Yes. We regas air-to-air heat pumps, single-room mini splits and multi-split AC systems from leading manufacturers. We check the data plate and commissioning information so the correct refrigerant and charge quantity are used.
For air conditioning and heat pumps, we commonly work with R32, R410A and R407C. For commercial refrigeration equipment, we also handle R404A, R448A and R449A. Refrigerant work is completed by F-Gas certified engineers.
Usually, yes. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and is not consumed like fuel. If the charge is low, we inspect the system for leaks and explain any repair needed before recharging it, rather than repeatedly topping up a faulty system.
Yes. We cover all London boroughs and many locations around the M25, including Central, North, East, South and West London. Domestic and commercial appointments are available for heat pumps, mini splits, multi-splits and refrigeration systems.
