There is ice forming in my split AC and also it is cooling less. When i called technician, he said the gas is OK, without even checking anything.

How to check the gas quantity and what is the cost of gas refill?

Also what is the reason of ice forming?

Call company customer care. Don't use ubranclap or local technicians. Higher chances of cheating.

Ice formation on cooling coils is an indication of gas leakage in the initial stages. If the leakage is minor, this situation will continue for 3-4 days before complete gas leaks out, then ice formation and cooling effect will completely disappear. To a layman it's always confusing that why ice should form if gas is less, but it's true.

Technician should measure the current drawn by the compressor which indicates the loading and the quantity of gas available.

@Budhe-Baba -- Most probably filters needs cleaning. So is outdoor unit. How old is the unit and when was it cleaned last time?

Unit was cleaned properly and deeply 1 month ago. And there is no dirt inside unit / coil / filter.

gas will be checked with a gauge by the technician, it should range anywhere between 130-150 which is considered normal. under 100 is low and a full top up of gas will be needed and costs around Rs.2700 for R32 gas. 10 psi of gas top up should cost around Rs.350.

if you have not done a deep clean of indoor unit (removing indoor unit completely and jet wash cleaning) costs around Rs.2200, do it and check gas.
