An air-conditioning device includes a refrigerant circuit including a compressor, a heat source-side heat exchanger, an expansion unit, and an intermediate heat exchanger that are connected by a refrigerant pipe, and through which refrigerant circulates; a heat medium circuit including a pump, the intermediate heat exchanger, and a load-side heat exchanger that are connected by a heat medium pipe, and through which heat medium circulates; a discharge unit connected downstream of the intermediate heat exchanger in the heat medium circuit and configured to discharge fluid flowing through the heat medium pipe, to outside of the heat medium pipe, depending on pressure of the fluid; a refrigerant detection device configured to detect concentration of the refrigerant contained in the fluid discharged from the discharge unit; a notification device configured to notify leakage of the refrigerant; and a controller configured to activate the notification device depending on the concentration of the refrigerant detected by the refrigerant detection device.
