Running an AC on low refrigerant is one of the fastest ways to destroy the compressor — an expensive repair. Watch for these warning signs in Kuwait's demanding climate.
Sign 1: Gradually Weakening Cooling
Your AC used to cool the room in 20 minutes but now takes 45 minutes or never reaches the set temperature.
Sign 2: Ice on Indoor Unit or Pipes
Ice forming on the evaporator coil or copper pipes indicates low gas pressure — turn off the unit and call a technician immediately.
Sign 3: Hissing or Bubbling Sounds
Refrigerant escaping through a small leak creates hissing sounds, especially near pipe connections.
Sign 4: Higher Electricity Bills
Low gas forces the compressor to run longer, increasing power consumption noticeably.
Sign 5: AC Was Recently Serviced But Still Weak
Cleaning alone will not fix a gas problem. If cooling did not improve after filter cleaning, gas level is the likely cause.
