Kia · AC Gas Refilling
Vacuum, leak test and re-gas to the exact weight your car specifies. Priced per Kia model, not per brand.
What follows is what ac gas refilling on a Kia specifically involves, what it costs, and what we check while the car is with us.
Air and moisture left in an AC system do not compress, so they occupy space the refrigerant needed and raise head pressure. Worse, moisture reacts with the refrigerant and PAG oil to form acid, which corrodes the system from inside. Pulling a deep vacuum boils that moisture out. Skipping it is the difference between a re-gas that lasts and one that damages the compressor.
Too much refrigerant raises high-side pressure, cuts cooling, and puts liquid where the compressor expects gas. Because a system in Dubai's heat reads high pressure anyway, charging by gauge alone leads to undercharging in an attempt to keep pressures down. Charging by weight avoids the whole problem.
Kia is a Korean make, and Sportage and Seltos gearboxes want their fluid changed on the shorter interval here; the schedule assumes a cooler climate than this one. For an AC re-gas specifically that means we price the parts to the model rather than the badge, and we check the items that go alongside it on this range instead of quoting a flat figure and finding out later.
The vehicle database lists 114 Kia models, and parts, labour time and price all move between them. Pick yours from the list below for the detail that applies to your car rather than to the range.
Pick your model for the price and the labour time that apply to your car.
A sealed system should never need refilling. If yours is low, it is leaking, and the leak is the actual repair. Refilling alone buys weeks to months.
About an hour: recovery, vacuum, hold test, charge and temperature check. We can do it at your location.
In Dubai summer, roughly 6-10 degrees at the centre vent on full recirculation after ten minutes. Much above that with a correct charge points at airflow, the blend door or the condenser.
Call, or send your location on WhatsApp. We will tell you the price before we set off.
