Best Fridge Gas Refilling in Kolkata
Refilling the gas (refrigerant) in a fridge isn’t a typical DIY job—it’s usually best done by a certified technician because it involves handling refrigerants safely and using specialized tools. However, I can guide you on what makes for a good fridge gas refilling job and what to look for or ask when hiring a technician.
✅ What Makes for a Good Fridge Gas Refill:
Correct Refrigerant Type Used
Common ones:
R134a (most domestic fridges)
R600a (newer eco-friendly models)
R22 (older models, now mostly phased out)
Leak Detection Before Refilling
If there’s a leak, just refilling won’t help. A technician should check for and fix leaks first.
Vacuuming the System
Before refilling, air and moisture must be removed with a vacuum pump.
Using Proper Tools
Manifold gauge set
Vacuum pump
Gas charging cylinder or scale
Exact Pressure Refill
Overfilling or underfilling can ruin the compressor. They should use the correct pressure readings.
Post-Refill Testing
Technician should run the fridge and check cooling performance and compressor noise.
💡 Tips When Hiring Someone:
Ask what type of refrigerant they’ll use.
Make sure they check for leaks first.
Look for technicians with F-Gas certification (in many regions).
Request a warranty or service guarantee.
