Every AC repair charge — gas refill, service, compressor, PCB — with honest price ranges so nobody overcharges you.
Before calling any AC technician in Samastipur, it helps to know roughly what a repair should cost. These are the actual 2026 rates — what you should expect to pay for every type of AC repair in Samastipur, Dalsinghsarai, Rosera, and surrounding areas.
| Service / Repair | 2026 Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Inspection / Diagnosis | ₹99 adjusted in repair |
| AC Service — Basic (Wash + Filter Clean) | ₹500 – ₹800 |
| AC Chemical Wash (Deep Service) | ₹700 – ₹1,000 |
| Gas Refill — R-22 | ₹700 – ₹1,100 |
| Gas Refill — R-32 / R-410A | ₹1,200 – ₹1,600 |
| Gas Leak Detection | ₹200 – ₹400 |
| Gas Leak Repair (joint / valve) | ₹300 – ₹600 |
| Capacitor Replacement | ₹400 – ₹900 |
| Drain Pipe Cleaning | ₹200 – ₹400 |
| PCB / Control Board Repair | ₹800 – ₹2,500 |
| Fan Motor Replacement | ₹700 – ₹1,800 |
| Compressor Replacement (1 ton) | ₹3,500 – ₹5,500 |
| Compressor Replacement (1.5 ton) | ₹4,500 – ₹8,000 |
| New AC Installation (Split) | ₹1,200 – ₹1,800 |
Older non-inverter ACs (pre-2015) typically use R-22 gas which is cheaper. Newer inverter ACs use R-32 or R-410A which cost more per kg. Before any gas refill, a proper technician will check your outdoor unit label to confirm which gas your system takes — never let someone add the wrong gas.
If your AC needs gas every year, it has a leak. Just refilling without fixing the leak is money wasted — the gas will escape again within months. The correct repair is: find the leak → fix it → vacuum the system → refill. This costs more upfront but saves you every subsequent season.
A compressor replacement for a 5+ year old non-inverter AC costs ₹4,500–₹8,000. A new 1.5-ton 3-star AC costs ₹28,000–₹35,000. A new 5-star inverter AC saves ₹800–₹1,500 per month on electricity compared to the old non-inverter. If your AC is 7+ years old and the compressor has failed, the upgrade math often favours buying new.
| Brand | Service | Gas Refill (R-410A) |
|---|---|---|
| Voltas / Lloyd | ₹500–₹700 | ₹1,200–₹1,500 |
| LG / Samsung | ₹600–₹800 | ₹1,300–₹1,600 |
| Daikin / Hitachi | ₹700–₹900 | ₹1,400–₹1,700 |
| Blue Star / Carrier | ₹600–₹800 | ₹1,300–₹1,600 |
| O General / Panasonic | ₹700–₹900 | ₹1,400–₹1,700 |
Premium brand ACs (Daikin, O General) cost slightly more to service because parts and refrigerant quantities differ. The difference is not large — usually ₹100–₹200 more than budget brands.
Always ask for the price before the technician starts work, not after. Any trustworthy technician in Samastipur will give you a quote after inspection — before touching anything. If they cannot give you a number until after the repair, walk away.
Repair Guru's policy: inspection ₹99, full quote given after diagnosis, repair only starts when you approve the cost. If we cannot fix it, you pay only the ₹99.
