AC Gas Refill Cost in Bangalore 2026 — Complete Price Guide

"How much will the gas refill cost?" is the question we get asked most. The honest answer is: it depends on a few specific factors — but here's a breakdown so you know roughly what to expect before a technician even arrives.

What Affects AC Gas Refill Cost

• Refrigerant type — R22, R32, and R410A are priced differently per kg, and R32/R410A units typically cost a bit more to refill than older R22 systems.
• AC capacity — a 1.5-ton unit needs more gas than a 1-ton unit, so cost scales with tonnage.
• Whether there's a leak to fix first — a simple top-up costs less than locating and sealing a leak before recharging.
• Accessibility of the outdoor unit — units mounted high up or in tight balcony spaces can add to labour time.

Indicative Price Ranges

These are general starting ranges for a 1–1.5 ton split AC — your technician will confirm the exact cost after inspecting your unit, since leak location and capacity both affect the final number:

• R22 gas refill: typically the most affordable of the three, though R22 units are being phased out and parts can be harder to source.
• R32 gas refill: a mid-range cost, common in most ACs sold in India over the last several years.
• R410A gas refill: generally the highest of the three, used in some higher-capacity and older inverter units.
• Leak detection & sealing adds to the base refill cost if your AC has lost gas due to a leak rather than just needing a routine top-up.

Exact pricing depends on current refrigerant rates, your AC's capacity, and what the technician finds during diagnosis — we'll always confirm the number with you before starting any work.

Why Some Quotes Seem Too Cheap (And What That Usually Means)

A very low quoted price over the phone, before anyone has even looked at your unit, is often a sign that the final bill will include "surprise" add-ons once the technician is already at your door. A fair quote should always come after diagnosis, not before.
