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.

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.
| Gas Type | Price (SGD) |
|---|---|
| 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 |

Types of A/C Refrigerant Gas

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.
