I've been using my Hisense Split Inverter AC for about a year and I've never refilled or top up the Gas ever since I purchased it new.

Now it doesn't get freezing cold like it used so I'm wondering if perhaps the Gas has finished or maybe there's a leakage somewhere.

Spoke to an AC Engineer, he said the Gas is finished and I'd have to do a refill.

He said the type of Gas I'd use is an R410 GAS and a KG is selling for N10000.

He said I'd probably use one and half KG.

Please how true is this?


Secondly my other AC after working for about an hour or more, it starts dropping water inside the house.

The same Engineer told me it's probably because of the short hose I'm using.

He suggested I get a longer hose that would go all the way down from my balcony to the downfloor.


Please what's your take on this guys?

R-410A, also known as Puron, is a refrigerant used in air conditioning and heat pump applications ¹ ². Here are some key points to know about R-410A:

- Type: Zeotropic but near-azeotropic mixture of difluoromethane (CH2F2, called R-32) and pentafluoroethane (CHF2CF3, called R-125)
- Use: Replaced R-22 as the preferred refrigerant for residential and commercial air conditioners
- Properties: Higher pressure than other refrigerants, does not contribute to ozone depletion
- Environmental Impact: Higher global warming potential (GWP) than CO2
- Phaseout: Being replaced by other refrigerants with lower GWP due to the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act

It's is job. Let him do it. If he doesn't do it well, you'll hold him to ransome.

It is difficult to give you adequate suggestions from afar, without any assessment of the AC.

I suggest you call another technician for second opinion and you can compare later.

As for R410 Gas, we do not know your location and it will be unfair to quote any precise price from afar. You can also make enquiries about where refrigerator accessories and spare parts are sold in your areas, take the pain to go their and ask the gas price from them.
