Aircond Gas Top Up in Johor Bahru, With the Leak Found First
Tambah gas aircond in JB, priced by refrigerant type and by whether the system needs a partial top-up or a full evacuation and recharge. We pressure-test before we charge anything in, because a unit low on gas has a leak, and refrigerant put into a leaking system leaves again.

Refrigerant is not consumed, and this matters
An aircond does not use up gas the way an engine uses petrol. It is a sealed loop. If the charge is low it escaped, and the only question is where. Anyone who tops you up without a leak test is selling you the same job again in three months.
What we do on a gas call: pressure-test the system, find where it is going, show you, then quote the repair and the recharge separately so you can see what you are paying for.
Price by refrigerant
| Refrigerant | Partial top-up | Full evacuation and recharge |
|---|---|---|
| R32 (most units sold since about 2018) | RM 250 - 350 | RM 400 - 550 |
| R410A | RM 280 - 400 | RM 450 - 600 |
| R22 (typical pre-2015 units) | RM 380 - 500 | RM 550 - 750 |
8% SST included. The leak test is included in the price when the recharge goes ahead. A standalone diagnosis is the RM 79 aircond fault repair in Johor Bahru, deducted if you proceed. Everything side by side on what every aircond job costs in JB.
R22, the honest conversation
R22 is being phased out under the Montreal Protocol. Supply is tightening in Malaysia and the price reflects that, which is why the R22 row is the most expensive on the table. We will not refuse to recharge an R22 system, but if your unit still runs it, put replacement into your one-to-three-year plan rather than paying a rising price to refill a leaking loop.
How to tell it is probably gas
- Runs but the room never gets properly cold.
- Ice forming on the copper pipes or the indoor coil.
- The outdoor unit runs constantly without the room reaching temperature.
- Cooling that faded gradually over months rather than failing overnight.
A sudden total failure is more often electrical. That is Aircond repair in JB.

How do I know which refrigerant my unit uses?
It is printed on the label on the outdoor unit. Send a photo of that label on WhatsApp and we will tell you the exact price before we come.
Why is a top-up cheaper than a full recharge?
A partial adds refrigerant to a system that still holds most of its charge. A full evacuation removes what is left, vacuums the system to pull out moisture and air, then weighs in a fresh charge to the manufacturer's spec. The second is the correct job after a leak repair.
Do you find the leak?
Yes, that is the first thing we do. Pressure test, locate, show you, quote.
Is gas included in the RM 99 service?
The pressure check is included. The refrigerant is not. See a normal service in JB.
