AC Gas Refill Dubai from AED 300
R-410A, R-32 and R-22 refilling with a free electronic leak test first, so you are not paying for the same gas twice. Charged by weight to the manufacturer spec, same-day across Dubai.

These are our real all-in ranges per unit, including labour, gas, the leak test and the performance report. You get the exact figure in writing before we start.
| Unit type | Refrigerant | Price | Time on site |
|---|---|---|---|
| R-32 top-up (leak repaired) | R-32 | AED 300 – 420 | 60 – 90 min |
| R-410A top-up (leak repaired) | R-410A | AED 350 – 450 | 60 – 90 min |
| R-22 top-up (phase-out pricing) | R-22 | AED 450 – 650 | 60 – 90 min |
| Leak repair + vacuum + full recharge | R-410A / R-32 | AED 500 – 800 | 2 – 3 hrs |
| Ducted / central AC recharge | R-410A / R-407C | AED 800 – 1,600 | 3 – 4 hrs |
| Evaporator coil replacement + recharge | R-410A / R-32 | AED 1,400 – 2,200 | Half day |
| Leak test only (no refill) | Nitrogen pressure test | AED 99 | 30 – 45 min |
Be careful with quotes under AED 200: that is a top-up only, with no leak repair, and the unit will be low again within two to four months while every cycle stresses the compressor. R-22 pricing moves with supply because it is being phased out under the UAE refrigerant transition.
Why does my AC keep losing gas in Dubai?
An AC does not consume refrigerant. If yours is low on gas, it is leaking. A refill without a leak repair buys you a few weeks of cooling and then the same warm air, which is why we pressure-test before we charge anything.
Signs your AC needs gas
Runs but blows warm air
The compressor works, the room stays hot. The clearest symptom of an undercharged system.
Ice on the copper pipe
Low pressure drops the coil below freezing, so the suction line frosts over.
Cooling fading week by week
A slow flare-joint leak loses charge gradually until cooling collapses in July.
Hissing or bubbling
Audible refrigerant escaping from a pinhole leak or a loose flare nut.
Outdoor unit never cuts off
The setpoint is never reached, so the compressor runs continuously and your DEWA bill climbs.
Refilled recently, warm again
Gas was added without finding the leak. The gas is now outside on the balcony.
If your unit is blowing warm air, our guide on why an AC blows warm air in Dubai walks through the checks worth doing before you call. Where the coil has already frozen, start with thawing a frozen coil safely. If the fault turns out to be electrical or mechanical rather than refrigerant, it is handled under AC repair in Dubai.
How the refill is done
- 1Pressure and leak test
Nitrogen pressure test plus electronic detection to find where the gas is going.
- 2Fixed written quote
Gas type, weight required and total price, before any work starts.
- 3Leak repair
Flare joints re-made or the pipe brazed, so the new charge stays in the system.
- 4Deep vacuum
Moisture and air pulled out with a vacuum pump: skipping this is what kills compressors.
- 5Charge by weight
Refrigerant weighed in to the nameplate spec, never guessed from gauge pressure.
- 6Verify and report
Superheat, subcooling and supply-air temperature recorded on your service report.

AC gas refill FAQs
What is the AC gas refill price in Dubai in 2026?
AC gas refill price in Dubai is AED 350 to AED 450 for R-410A, AED 300 to AED 420 for R-32 and AED 450 to AED 650 for R-22. Leak repair with a full recharge is AED 500 to AED 800.
Can I get AC gas filling near me the same day?
Yes. We carry R-32, R-410A and R-22 on the vans, so AC gas filling is completed in a single visit across Dubai, usually within 90 minutes of arrival.
Is freon refill the same as an AC gas leak repair?
No. A freon refill only replaces lost gas. Because refrigerant sits in a sealed loop, low gas always means a leak, so AC gas leak repair in Dubai has to come first or you will be refilling again in months. What is the R-410A gas price in Dubai? It is included in the AED 350 to AED 450 refill rate above.
How much does AC gas refill cost in Dubai?
An R-410A top-up is AED 350 to AED 450 and R-32 is AED 300 to AED 420, both after the leak is repaired. R-22 costs AED 450 to AED 650 because of phase-out pricing. A leak repair plus deep vacuum and full recharge runs AED 500 to AED 800, and ducted systems AED 800 to AED 1,600 by tonnage.
Do I need a full gas refill or just a top-up?
A top-up is correct when the loss is small and the leak has been repaired. If more than roughly 40% of the charge is gone, we recover the remaining refrigerant, pull a deep vacuum and recharge fully by weight so the blend stays correct. Blended gases like R410A cannot be reliably topped up after a large loss.
How long does AC gas refilling take in Dubai?
60 to 90 minutes for a leak test plus recharge on a single split unit. A brazed leak repair adds around 45 minutes. Ducted and concealed systems take 2 to 3 hours.
How often should AC gas be refilled?
Never, on a healthy system. Refrigerant is not consumed like fuel: it circulates in a sealed loop. If your AC needs gas more than once every two years, there is a leak, and refilling without repairing it just pays for the same gas twice.
Which refrigerant does my AC use?
Check the nameplate on the outdoor unit. Most Dubai apartments installed after 2015 use R410A or R32. Older villas and window units often still run R22, which is being phased out and costs more per kilogram each year.
Can low gas damage the compressor?
Yes. Running undercharged causes poor oil return and overheating, which is the most common cause of premature compressor failure in Dubai. A compressor replacement costs AED 1,500 to AED 3,500: far more than a timely refill.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. Inspection and the written quote are free. You only pay the fixed price shown above once you approve the work.
Is the gas refill covered by warranty?
Yes: 90 days on gas and workmanship. If the charge drops within that window on a leak we repaired, we return at no cost.
