If you're searching for “air conditioning refrigerant recharge – what homeowners should know”, you're not alone — it's one of the most common questions we get asked by homeowners in Costa Blanca South, the southern stretch of the Costa Blanca. This guide covers what typically affects the answer, so you know what to expect before you get a firm quote.
Signs You Might Need Regas
- The system cools slower than it used to, or not at all
- Ice forming on the indoor or outdoor unit
- A hissing or bubbling sound from the pipework
- The unit runs constantly without reaching the set temperature
Why We Check for Leaks First
Refrigerant is sealed into an air conditioning system and shouldn't simply run low over time. If levels have dropped, there's almost always a leak somewhere in the pipework or connections. Recharging a system without finding and fixing the leak first means it will run low again — often within months — so for Costa Blanca South properties we always check for leaks before any refrigerant work is carried out. Handling refrigerant in Spain is also regulated: only F-Gas certified engineers are legally permitted to do this work.
