Price Ranges by Unit Size and Gas Type
• Up to 1 HP, new gas: ₪450 – ₪600 before VAT • 1.5–2 HP, new gas: ₪600 – ₪800 before VAT • Above 2 HP, new gas: ₪800 – ₪1,000+ before VAT • Old R22 gas, medium unit: from ₪800 before VAT • Old R22 gas, large unit: from ₪1,000 before VAT • Technician visit, when charged separately: ₪250 – ₪350 incl. VAT • Leak detection and repair: ₪500 – ₪2,100 incl. VAT The unit-size rows come from Midrag's price list and are before VAT (add 18%). The visit and leak-repair rows come from Pro.co.il, whose prices include VAT. Midrag also notes that in peak season, when gas is short, the price can double.
The Price Lists Disagree, and Why It Matters
Three price lists we checked give different numbers for the same job: • Midrag: ₪450 to ₪1,000+ for new gas by unit size, before VAT. • Pro.co.il: ₪500 to ₪700 for new gas and ₪1,300 to ₪1,600 for R22, including VAT. • Mizugi: ₪300 to ₪500 for R410 and ₪500 to ₪600 for R22, before VAT, and ₪400 to ₪700 for a mini-central unit. We did not average them. The gap comes mostly from the quantity of gas, access to the outdoor unit and whether the visit is included. Compare quotes on the same basis: same gas type, full refill or top-up, and with or without VAT.
Old Gas (R22): How to Tell and Why It Costs More
R22 is harmful to the environment and is being phased out. Its production keeps shrinking, so it costs more and supply is drying up. According to Pro.co.il, AC units made before 2005 usually run on R22. The gas type is printed on the sticker on the outdoor unit. If an old unit needs R22 again and again, ask the technician for a replacement quote too and compare before refilling.
What Affects the Price
• Unit size/HP, larger units need more refrigerant. • Gas type, new R410A/R32 vs. older, pricier R22. • AC type, wall unit vs. mini-central. • Unit accessibility, a high or hard-to-reach unit raises the cost. • The actual quantity of refrigerant needed, full refill or top-up. • Season, summer brings demand and sometimes gas shortages.
Repeat Refills: the Problem Most People Don't Know About
Refrigerant gas does not run out under normal use. If an AC needs a refill, there is almost always a leak somewhere in the piping or coil. Industry sources note that some technicians prefer to simply do a repeat refill rather than diagnose and fix the leak, since a refill is a quicker, cheaper job than leak detection. Published refill prices cover the gas only, not finding and fixing the leak. The result: without fixing the leak, the new refill will run out again and you'll need another one soon.
How to Avoid a Cycle of Repeat Refills
☐ Explicitly ask whether a leak check was performed before refilling. ☐ Ask for the result in writing, was a leak found, and where. ☐ If the AC needs a second refill within less than a year, that's a clear sign of an unaddressed leak. ☐ Get a final price by phone before arrival, including the visit fee, and ask whether it includes VAT. ☐ Confirm the technician is certified for refrigerant work, a legal requirement.
FAQ
How much does an AC gas refill cost?
For a home wall unit with new gas (R32/R410A), about ₪450 to ₪800 before VAT by unit size per Midrag, or ₪500 to ₪700 including VAT per Pro.co.il. Units above 2 HP start at ₪800 before VAT.
Does the refill price include leak detection?
No. Published prices cover the gas only. Finding and fixing a leak costs ₪500 to ₪2,100 including VAT per Pro.co.il, depending on where the leak is.
Why does my AC keep needing a gas refill?
Refrigerant does not run out under normal use, needing a refill almost always means there is a leak. Without fixing the leak, the new refill will also run out, and you'll end up refilling again and again.
How much more expensive is old R22 gas?
Per Midrag an R22 refill starts at ₪800 for a medium unit and ₪1,000 for a large one, before VAT. Pro.co.il gives ₪1,300 to ₪1,600 including VAT, against ₪500 to ₪700 for new gas.
Can I refill AC gas myself?
No, refrigerant work is legally required to be performed by a certified AC technician. See the full AC-technician-cost guide for more.
