🌫️ Why Leaks Are Harmful to the Environment
- Feb 24
- 1 min read
Modern aircons commonly use R32 or R410A refrigerant.
While they are safer than older refrigerants, they still have Global Warming Potential (GWP).
This means:
When released into the atmosphere
They trap heat
They contribute to global warming
Even small leaks, over time, have environmental impact.

Environmental Impact in Simple Terms
Refrigerant gases:
Stay in the atmosphere for years
Trap significantly more heat than carbon dioxide
Increase overall greenhouse effect
This is why proper handling and recovery during servicing is important.
Why Proper Leak Repair Matters
Some people repeatedly top up gas without fixing the leak.
This causes:
Continuous environmental harm
Higher electricity bills
Compressor strain
Eventual system breakdown
Responsible servicing identifies and repairs leaks instead of masking the issue.
