Pressure testing, leak detection, vacuum and accurate weighed re-gas of R410a, R32 and legacy R22 systems. In Dunkeld this is sandton prime work on all split types systems, attended within about 50 minutes of dispatch.On Carrier equipment specifically — ducted central systems, rooftop packaged units and chillers — the faults we see most in Dunkeld are rooftop unit economiser damper failure and chiller flow switch faults.Every visit starts with a full diagnostic and a written quote before any part is fitted.Heritage overlays on some streets restrict visible external plant. Aircon Repairs & Servicing bookings in Dunkeld are logged against Block 6 so we can allow for power availability on site.

Refrigerant data
| Gas | Classification | Suction pressure | Discharge pressure | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R410a | HFC blend (A1) | 280-320 kPa at 7 degrees C evaporating | 2 600-3 000 kPa at 45 degrees C ambient | Most inverter splits, ducted systems, VRV/VRF and heat pumps installed since 2005. |
| R32 | HFC (A2L, mildly flammable) | 300-340 kPa at 7 degrees C evaporating | 2 700-3 100 kPa at 45 degrees C ambient | Current-generation inverter splits and heat pumps. |
| R22 | HCFC (phased out) | 480-520 kPa at 7 degrees C evaporating | 1 700-2 000 kPa at 45 degrees C ambient | Legacy splits and ducted plant installed before the phase-out. |
Common questions
How often should an aircon need re-gassing?
A correctly installed system should never need gas. If it does, there is a leak, so we pressure test and repair the leak before charging rather than topping up annually.
Do you charge a callout fee?
A standard callout and diagnostic fee applies and is quoted upfront. It is credited against the repair when you accept the quote.
Do you top up gas without finding the leak?
No. A weighed charge into a leaking system is money out the window, so the leak is found and repaired first, then the system is evacuated and charged to the plated weight.
What does an annual service contract include?
Scheduled visits, priority response between visits, a written condition report per unit and fixed labour rates for the contract year.
