Air Conditioning
R32 / R410A Refrigerant Gas
Cooling fluid circulating in a closed loop inside the air conditioner to absorb indoor heat and release it outside.
What is R32 / R410A Refrigerant Gas?
Refrigerant gas (R32 in modern units or R410A in pre-2019 systems) is never consumed during normal operation because the circuit is hermetically sealed. When a split AC stops cooling, in most cases it is caused by dirty coils, a faulty start capacitor, an uncalibrated NTC sensor, or an inverter PCB lockout.
When you encounter it in an emergency & typical cost
When the AC runs but blows lukewarm air or frost forms on the indoor coil. On-site electronic and thermal diagnostics: €85-140.
Arrival within 20-35 minutes
