StringsSG Aircon Gas Top-Up Singapore

By StringsSG – Trusted Local Home Service Partner

Vetted technicians from licensed, ACRA-registered contractors

Air conditioning systems require refrigerant gases like R22, R410A, or R32 to function effectively. Low gas levels cause poor cooling, compressor strain, and higher electricity bills. At StringsSG, our experienced and BCA-certified technicians use calibrated gauges to diagnose refrigerant issues accurately and perform top-ups in a safe, eco-friendly manner.

Low gas almost always means a leak somewhere in the system, because refrigerant runs in a sealed loop and is not used up. So the technician checks the pressure and looks for the leak before topping up; a top-up on its own only buys time.

If you're on a maintenance package, refrigerant level checks are included in every visit. Refills are charged separately based on gas type and quantity, with transparent pricing displayed before service begins.

Expert Tip: A healthy refrigerant level not only improves cooling but also extends your aircon's lifespan. Schedule a check at least once a year for the best performance.

Gas Top-Up Pricing

StringsSG prices per unit, transport included. A half tank tops up a unit that is slightly low; a full tank refills one that has lost most of its gas, usually after a leak repair.

R410A$106.72 half tank / $147.20 full tank
R32$147.20 half tank / $193.20 full tank
R22$73.60 half tank / $101.20 full tank

Signs Your Aircon Needs Gas Top-Up

  • 🌬️Weak cooling – Air isn’t as cold as before.
  • ⏱️Longer cycles – Takes longer to cool the room.
  • 🔄Compressor never stops – Constant or irregular operation.
  • ❄️Ice buildup – Frost on coils or copper pipes.
  • 💨Hissing sounds – Could indicate a refrigerant leak.
  • ⚡High electricity bills – Caused by poor cooling efficiency.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t delay. StringsSG’s certified technicians can inspect, diagnose, and safely refill your aircon gas. Learn more about gas leakage.

Aircon Gas Top-Up FAQs

With StringsSG, per unit and with transport included: R22 is $73.60 for a half tank and $101.20 for a full tank, R410A $106.72 and $147.20, and R32 $147.20 and $193.20. A half tank suits a unit that is slightly low; a full tank refills one that has lost most of its gas, usually after a leak is repaired.
Check the rating label on the side of the outdoor condenser, or on the indoor unit; it names the refrigerant (R32, R410A or R22) and the factory charge. Most inverter units sold in recent years use R32, older inverters R410A, and units from the early 2000s or before R22.
In principle, never. Refrigerant runs in a sealed loop and is not used up, so an aircon that needs regular top-ups has a leak. The technician should check the pressure and look for the leak first; topping up without fixing it means paying again within months.
Yes. R22 is an older refrigerant that is being phased out internationally, so it is becoming scarcer, but units that use it can still be topped up. If an R22 unit keeps losing gas or is more than about ten years old, compare the cost of repeated top-ups with replacing it.
Yes. StringsSG gives a 90-day workmanship warranty on refrigerant gas top-up. If cooling drops again within that period, contact us through the app or WhatsApp and we will send a technician back.

Types of A/C Refrigerant Gas

Aircon refrigerant gas R22
R22 gas cylinders
  • 1. R-22 (Chlorodifluoromethane)

    Once widely used, R-22 is being phased out globally due to ozone depletion issues under the Montreal Protocol.

  • 2. R-410A (Puron)

    R-410A replaced R-22 in many systems. It's more environmentally friendly as it doesn’t deplete the ozone layer.

  • 3. R-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane)

    Used in automotive and commercial systems, R-134a has no ozone depletion effect but contributes to global warming.

  • 4. R-407C

    Designed to replace R-22 in existing systems, R-407C is ozone-safe but still contributes to global warming.

  • 5. R-32 (Difluoromethane)

    Common in newer residential units, R-32 offers lower global warming potential compared to many HFCs.

  • 6. R-290 (Propane) and R-600a (Isobutane)

    Eco-friendly hydrocarbon refrigerants with very low global warming impact, used in small-capacity systems.

Refrigerant use and availability are changing due to evolving regulations and environmental concerns. Stay updated with newer, safer alternatives.

Should You Top Up Aircon Refrigerant Gas Yourself?

Topping up aircon refrigerant gas yourself is not recommended. It involves hazardous substances and requires certifications.

Mishandling refrigerants like R-410A or R-22 can cause health hazards and damage your unit. Only licensed HVAC technicians should handle them.

If your system isn't cooling well, seek help from certified professionals to ensure safety and efficiency.
