AC Gas Charging / Refrigerant Service in Vadodara
Refrigerant is not consumed by an air conditioner. It circulates in a sealed loop, so if the charge is low, it has escaped somewhere — usually at a flare joint, a service valve, a rubbed copper line or a corroded coil. Simply topping up without finding that leak means the same complaint returns in weeks or months.
Fortune Aircons approaches refrigerant work in the correct order: measure pressures and running current first, confirm whether the charge is genuinely low, trace and repair the leak, then evacuate the system and charge to the manufacturer's specified quantity. Overcharging is as harmful as undercharging — it raises head pressure and loads the compressor.
Common AC Problems
Symptoms that typically bring customers to this service.
Cooling faded gradually
A slow loss of cooling over weeks is a classic sign of a small refrigerant leak rather than a sudden component failure.
Ice on the copper line or coil
Low pressure lowers evaporating temperature, so frost forms on the suction line and the evaporator face.
Compressor runs continuously
With insufficient charge the set temperature is never reached, so the unit keeps running without satisfying the thermostat.
Oil traces near joints or the coil
Refrigerant oil escaping with the gas leaves an oily film that points to the leak location.
Hissing sound near the indoor unit
An audible hiss can indicate refrigerant escaping through a compromised joint or coil.
Cooling lost soon after a previous top-up
A charge that disappears again quickly means the leak was never located and repaired.
Our Refrigerant Service Process
Pressure and current measurement
Suction and discharge pressures and compressor current are measured to confirm whether the charge is actually low.
Leak tracing
Joints, valves, copper runs and coils are checked for the source of loss, including oil traces and pressure behaviour.
Leak repair
The faulty joint or line is repaired or replaced. Charging a leaking system is not a fix.
Evacuation
The system is vacuumed to remove air and moisture, which otherwise cause blockage and acid formation.
Charge and verify
Refrigerant is charged to the specified quantity and cooling, pressures and current are verified on a test run.

Frequently Asked Questions
In a properly sealed system, never as a routine. Refrigerant only needs topping up when it has leaked, so recurring refills point to a leak that should be repaired.
