AC Gas Recharge Sydney
Air conditioner refrigerant recharge (regas) Sydney — licensed technicians, leak detection first. All brands. All Sydney suburbs.
Air conditioners don't consume refrigerant — they circulate it. If your system is low on gas, it means there's a leak. Tradie Heroes licensed refrigeration mechanics find and repair the leak first, then recharge the system to the correct manufacturer specification. Topping up gas without fixing the leak is a short-term fix that wastes money and is increasingly restricted under Australian regulations.
We service all refrigerant types including R32, R410A, R22 and R134a across all Sydney suburbs. Our ARCtick-licensed technicians carry refrigerant handling licences as required under Australian law, and properly recover and dispose of refrigerant before recharging. Every regas includes a pressure test and leak check before and after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my air conditioner need a regas?
Air conditioners are a sealed system and shouldn't need regassing unless there is a refrigerant leak. If your system is low on gas, we will find and repair the leak before recharging — simply topping up without fixing the leak means it'll run low again within months.
Is AC gas recharge legal without an ARCtick licence?
No — handling refrigerants in Australia requires an ARCtick licence under the Ozone Protection Act. Unlicensed refrigerant handling carries significant fines. All Tradie Heroes technicians are ARCtick licensed.
How do I know if my air conditioner is low on gas?
Signs include reduced cooling capacity, ice forming on the indoor unit or refrigerant lines, the system running continuously without reaching the set temperature, or refrigerant frost on the outdoor unit. We confirm with pressure gauges.
How much does an AC regas cost in Sydney?
Cost depends on the refrigerant type, quantity required and whether leak repair is needed. We give a fixed price before starting — the leak repair and regas are typically completed in the same visit.
Can you regas R22 systems in Sydney?
R22 (freon) is a phased-out refrigerant that is no longer manufactured. We can recharge with recovered R22 while stocks exist, but we recommend converting to a modern R32 or R410A system for long-term reliability and compliance.
