Dismantling an AC may require professional intervention, so I would recommend you hire an AC technician for the job. However, I can give you a brief idea of the process as I got it uninstalled from a professional and closely observed the person. So, if you’re wondering how to remove air conditioner without losing gas, I got you covered. You need some specialised equipment to perform the task.

How to Remove an Air Conditioner without Losing Gas?

We had to shift to a new place, so we got our AC dismantled without losing the gas. For this, I learned you need to first pump out the gas from the system. Here are some steps I remember the technician followed while uninstalling the AC.

  1. He started by closing the valve for supplying gas to the evaporator.

  2. Then, he turned the AC on cooling mode. 

  3. After waiting for the system to shut down automatically, he closed the valve on the vent line.

  4. Then, he removed the front panel using screwdrivers and disconnected all the wires.

  5. He then removed the brackets which were securing the AC on the wall. 

  6. Finally, he removed the AC unit from the wall.

So, this is how to remove split AC without losing gas. 

The important thing here is to close the small diameter valve on the discharge line first, then close the larger diameter valve. The professional told me this will trap the refrigerant or gas within the compressor. I hope this gives you some idea. If you’re unsure about doing it by yourself, call an AC technician.
