Commercial refrigerator refrigerant cost and why it leaks again

Refrigerant service for common commercial refrigerators is generally NT$1,500–3,000. If the system is leaking, charging alone only provides temporary cooling; the correct process is leak testing, repair, evacuation and charging.

Quick action guide

Applies to

R134a, R507, R404A, R290 and R600a commercial systems as applicable.

Safe checks

Record temperature and photograph oily pipe joints, but do not open valves or add refrigerant.

Stop the equipment

Stop for burning smell, repeated tripping, damaged piping or suspected unsafe leakage conditions.

Request service

Call when cooling weakens again, pressure testing is required or refrigerant work is needed.

Correct refrigerant work

Identify the refrigerant

The nameplate determines the approved refrigerant and charge; refrigerants must not be mixed.

Locate and repair the leak

Use appropriate leak testing and repair the confirmed point before charging.

Evacuate and charge

Remove air and moisture, then charge according to the system requirements.

R290 and R600a

These flammable refrigerants require trained procedures and a controlled work area. 冰友冷凍 has professional training for brazing and leak repair on applicable R290 and R600a equipment.

Common questions

Why does the refrigerator become warm again after charging?

If a leak was not repaired, refrigerant escapes again and cooling falls.

Can R290 or R600a piping be brazed?

Work is possible only with trained flammable-refrigerant procedures, refrigerant recovery or removal, ventilation and ignition-risk controls.

Is the final price always NT$1,500–3,000?

No. That is a filling reference; leak repair, pipework and site conditions affect the final quote.
