Aircon Gas Leak Repair Cost in Singapore

Gas leak & leakage repair service — most leaks cost only the top-up: R22 $115 / R410A $130 / R32 $170 · 90-day workmanship warranty

Most aircon gas leak repairs at aircons.sg cost only the price of the gas top-up — R22 $115, R410A $130, R32 $170, flat — because the $45 visit and diagnosis fee is waived when you proceed. Where the leak needs piping or coil work, the published rates apply — piping replacement is $450 per FCU, with coil repair or concealed pipe work quoted after the test — before any work starts, and every repair is backed by a 90-day workmanship warranty. Whether you call it a gas leak or gas leakage, it is the same problem and the same price.

Signs your aircon is leaking gas

  • The aircon blows air but it is not cold — or the room takes much longer to cool than before.
  • Ice forming on the copper pipes or the indoor coil; when it melts, it drips and looks like a water leak.
  • Hissing from the indoor unit or along the piping.
  • Cooling that fades gradually over weeks, rather than failing overnight.
  • The electricity bill creeping up — a low-gas system runs longer and works harder for the same cooling.
  • A previous gas top-up that did not last.

Low gas almost always means a leak — not "used up" gas

Refrigerant is not consumed the way fuel is. It circulates in a sealed loop between the indoor and outdoor units, and in a healthy system the same gas keeps circulating for the life of the aircon — it never needs topping up. So when a system is low on gas, the gas went somewhere: a loosened flare joint, a corroded coil, a pinhole in the piping.

That is why the honest question is never "how much does a top-up cost?" but "where is the gas going?" — and it is why we check the system's pressure before recommending anything.

The trap of repeated top-ups

Not every leak is urgent. A very slow leak may lose gas over a year or more, and an occasional top-up can genuinely be the practical choice — when that is the case, we say so. But a fast leak that empties the system in weeks means you are renting gas, not fixing your aircon: three or four top-ups can cost more than the actual repair.

The only way to know which kind you have is to check the system's pressure. The $45 visit fee covers the full 9-point pre-check and a gas pressure check, and it is waived when you proceed with a top-up, so there is no reason to guess. If a dedicated pressure / leak test of the piping set is needed to pinpoint the leak, that is $150 per FCU.

What a gas leak repair actually costs

In most cases the repair costs only the flat top-up price, because the $45 visit and diagnosis fee is waived when you proceed: R22 $115, R410A $130, R32 $170 — nothing added. That covers the visit, the 9-point pre-check, the gas pressure check and the top-up itself.

Where the leak needs more than a top-up, the published rates apply: a dedicated pressure / leak test of the piping set is $150 per FCU (offset against the repair if you proceed on the same visit), a full piping replacement is $450 per FCU, and a re-made joint, a corroded coil or concealed pipe work is quoted upfront after the test. You see and approve every figure before any work starts. If you decide not to proceed, you pay only for the visit and any leak test already carried out — nothing towards the repair. Unrelated faults found during the pre-check, such as drainage or electrical issues, are standard repairs from $80.

What determines the cost when piping work is needed

We publish a flat piping replacement rate of $450 per FCU. Coil repair and concealed pipe work, which vary too much from home to home, are quoted after the pressure test — and that quote depends on:

  • Where the leak is — a flare joint that needs re-making is a smaller job than a pinhole mid-run or a corroded coil.
  • Accessibility — exposed piping is straightforward; piping concealed in trunking, false ceilings or walls takes longer to reach.
  • Length of the pipe run that needs replacing.
  • Joint repair versus coil work — re-flaring a connection is minor; a corroded evaporator or condenser coil is a bigger job.
  • The refrigerant needed to recharge the system once the repair is done.

Whatever the answer, you get the exact figure upfront after the pressure test — no work begins until you have agreed to the price.

Frequently asked questions

Is an aircon gas leak dangerous?
For a home split system, generally no — R22, R410A and R32 are not toxic in the small quantities a household system holds, though R32 is classified as mildly flammable. The real damage is financial: running low on gas overworks the compressor, the most expensive part of the system. Fix it promptly, but there is no need to panic.
How do I know which refrigerant my aircon uses?
Check the nameplate sticker on the outdoor condenser, or on the side of the indoor unit — the refrigerant type is printed on it. As a rough guide, older systems use R22, many mid-2010s systems R410A, and newer inverter systems R32. If you are not sure, WhatsApp us a photo of the sticker and we will tell you.
My last top-up only lasted a month — what now?
Stop topping up. Gas that disappears within a month means a significant leak, and paying for refrigerant every few weeks quickly costs more than fixing the problem once. Book a service visit — $45, waived if you proceed with a gas top-up, and it includes the 9-point pre-check and a gas pressure check. We will show you where the gas is going and quote any repair upfront before work starts. A dedicated pressure / leak test of the piping set, if needed, is $150 per FCU.
Do you actually repair leaks, or only top up gas?
We repair them. Depending on where the leak is, that can mean re-tightening or re-flaring a joint, replacing a section of copper piping, or repairing a corroded coil. A full piping replacement is $450 per FCU; a re-made joint, a corroded coil or concealed pipe work is quoted upfront after the test, before any work starts — and the repair work carries a 90-day workmanship warranty.
Is the price the same for HDB, condo and landed?
Yes. The gas top-up prices are flat — R22 $115, R410A $130, R32 $170 — whatever the property type, and piping replacement is a flat $450 per FCU. Concealed pipe work, coil repair and joint repairs are quoted after the test, because they depend on how the piping is routed and how accessible it is, not on whether the home is an HDB flat, a condo or a landed house.
Is the repair price I am quoted final?
Yes. The flat top-up prices and any repair quote you receive are final.
Is "gas leakage" the same as a gas leak?
Yes — "aircon gas leakage" and "aircon gas leak" describe the same problem: refrigerant escaping a sealed system through a loose joint, a corroded coil or a pinhole in the piping. The repair and the pricing are identical — most cases cost only the flat top-up (R22 $115, R410A $130, R32 $170), with piping replacement at $450 per FCU and any coil repair or concealed pipe work quoted upfront after the test.
