Is Your AC Not Cooling? Here is Everything You Need to Know About AC Gas Charging

Posted on : 20-Jan-2026

Did you just turn on your AC, expecting a cool breeze, but instead got warm, fan-like air? Or is your air conditioner taking much longer than usual to cool down your room?

If yes, there is a high chance that your AC’s refrigerant (gas) levels are low. Surviving the Delhi heat without a working AC is impossible. In this post, we explain exactly when your AC needs gas charging and the right way to do it.

4 Key Signs Your AC is Low on Gas

1. AC Blowing Warm Air: The compressor is running, but the air coming out of the vent is not cold.

2. Ice Formation on Pipes: If you see white ice building up on the AC’s discharge pipe or the cooling coil, this is the biggest sign of a gas leak.

3. Hissing or Bubbling Noise: A faint hissing sound coming from the indoor unit often indicates a refrigerant leak.

4. High Electricity Bills: When gas levels are low, your AC has to work twice as hard to cool the room, leading to a sudden spike in your energy bill.

Does AC Gas Ever "Finish"? (Myth vs. Reality)

Many people believe that AC gas gets "used up" like petrol in a car. This is a myth. An air conditioner is a sealed system. The gas circulates inside it and does not get consumed. The gas level only drops if there is a leak in the copper pipes or joints. If there is no leak, the gas can last for years.

Why Choose Delhi Daily Service?

Many local technicians in the market simply "top-up" the gas without checking for leaks, which means you will face the same problem again in a month. At Delhi Daily Service, we do it the right way:

1. Proper Leak Testing: We use Nitrogen pressure to identify the exact point of leakage and fix it permanently before filling gas.

2. Vacuuming: Before charging gas, we vacuum the system to remove moisture and air, ensuring 100% cooling efficiency.

3. Precision Gas Filling: We don’t work on guesswork. We use professional gauge meters to fill the exact PSI pressure required for your AC model (R32, R410A, or R22).

4. Transparency: Our technicians perform the work right in front of you at transparent and affordable prices.
