Aircon Refrigerant-Leak Inspection and Top-up in Nagoya
A refill can be temporary if the leak remains. We inspect refrigerant conditions and piping connections in Nagoya and nearby areas, and explain top-up and leak repair as separate work items.
Different causes need different work
Before inspection: Do not refill refrigerant or tighten connections yourself. If a leak is suspected, stop use, avoid flames, ventilate and arrange inspection.
A leaking pipe connection
Flare-joint preparation and connection condition need checking. In a Showa Ward case, a burr at the joint required the flare to be remade.
A leak inside the unit
A heat-exchanger leak cannot be fixed by tightening a pipe joint. Parts or manufacturer service may be needed; refill alone is not completed leak repair.
A non-refrigerant cooling problem
Warm air or icing alone does not confirm a refrigerant leak. Operating checks help distinguish dirt, component faults and refrigerant issues.
Price and what affects the total
Refrigerant top-up (tax included)
from ¥15,000
This is the starting price for top-up, not an all-inclusive leak repair price. Refrigerant type, quantity, inspection and required repairs determine the total estimate.
Choose work after the findings and estimate are explained.
From enquiry to follow-up checks
- Confirm the model, refrigerant type and previous refill or installation work
- Inspect for leaks and quote required repairs and refrigerant work
- Check leaks and operation after work; explain anything still unresolved
Availability depends on the model, parts, address and schedule. We explain when manufacturer repair is more appropriate.

Questions before booking
Does an aircon need a refill every year?
A normally functioning sealed circuit is not intended to need regular top-ups. Repeated shortages require investigation for leaks.
Does the starting price include fixing a leak?
No. Top-up and leak repair are different work items. Quantity, inspection and repairs are reviewed before the total is quoted.
What happens if the leak is inside the unit?
Parts availability and warranty may make manufacturer repair or replacement appropriate. In our Showa Ward heat-exchanger case, the leak was explicitly recorded as unrepaired after top-up.
Send the symptom and photos first
Share your area, model label, what happens and when, and safe photos of both units. We cover Nagoya's 16 wards; nearby areas and visit dates are confirmed individually.
