Air Conditioning re-gas and leak repair
As Brisbane’s leading air conditioning experts we provide all aspects of install, repair and maintenance for residential and commercial clients. We are here to make your life easier by giving your home and business endless comfort with our world class air conditioning solutions
Air conditioning regas forms part of this service and is probably one of the most common repairs that we are asked to undertake. It could be as simple as an installation error causing the gas to leak or the unit has been knocked which has then created a crack for the gas to escape or the unit has developed a problem due to mechanical or vibration damage.
Who can re-gas my Air Conditioner
Working with refrigerants?
A Refrigerant Handling Licence must be held by any person who carries out work in relation to refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) equipment. Carrying out work in relation to RAC equipment means doing anything with a fluorocarbon refrigerant, or a component of RAC equipment, that carries the risk of refrigerant being emitted including: decanting the refrigerant or manufacturing, installing, commissioning, servicing or maintaining RAC equipment or decommissioning RAC equipment.
Handling fluorocarbon refrigerant without a Refrigerant Handling Licence is an offence. National regulations are in place which affect people who acquire, possess, dispose of or handle ozone depleting substances or synthetic greenhouse gases.

Any person who handles refrigerant or works on RAC equipment must hold a refrigerant handling licence. Handling a refrigerant means doing anything with the refrigerant, or a component of RAC equipment, that carries the risk of its emission, including:
- decanting the refrigerant; or
- manufacturing, installing, commissioning, servicing or maintaining RAC equipment, irrespective if whether or not refrigerant is present; or
- decommissioning or disposing of RAC equipment where refrigerant is present.
The refrigerant handling licence and refrigerant trading authorisation cover all fluorocarbon refrigerants: chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons. Examples of these include R12, R22, R134A, R410A and R404A.
Fluorocarbon refrigerants are harmful to the environment if emitted to the atmosphere. Under the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management Regulations 1995, persons handling refrigerant must hold a current Refrigerant Handling Licence. This licence is issued by ARC on behalf of the Australian government and can be obtained by completing the online licence application form on this website.

What is an Air Conditioning re-gas
An air conditioner re gas is where the unit has developed a leak and the refrigerant has escaped which affects the unit being able to push out cold air.
When a Snap Air Conditioning technician attends we won’t just regas the unit. We will locate where the leak is coming from and rectify the leak prior to regassing the unit. There is no point regassing a unit if the leak is still present.

Frequently Asked Questions
No it will not be damaged as units these days have precautionary electronics to stop the air conditioner running if there is no gas or pressure present
No you should never have to get your air conditioner re gassed the only reason you would need a re gas is if the installation was not perfect and there is a very small leak that was missed by the technician or the leak has materialized due to vibration
Think your Air Conditioning needs to be re-gassed?
Here are the most common ways to tell if your air conditioner needs a re-gas.
- Ice is forming on the head unit coil
- Error code flashing/displayed - low refrigerant / pressure
- You can hear the outdoor unit starting outside but no cold air.
- Air Conditioner not cooling and now not turning on
It’s well worth having your AC Unit checked and serviced (chemical clean) every year or when issues arise. We will pick up if it is running low on gas and be able fix the problem right there and then. What we usually see every year is at the beginning of summer people are completely unprepared, they switch on their air conditioning and realise it’s not cooling, usually on the first hot day of summer – which is of course the busiest time of year for everyone!
