Who it suits
- Systems not cooling properly
- Units icing up
- Systems repeatedly needing gas
- Older systems with a known leak
How do you find a leak?
With electronic detectors, bubble solution and, where needed, nitrogen pressure testing of sections of pipework. Flare joints, valves and old repairs are common culprits.
What about older refrigerants?
R22 cannot be topped up with new or recycled R22 at all, so an R22 system with a leak is normally replaced. R410A can still be serviced, but single-split systems using it can no longer be placed on the GB market.
What is included
- Leak search with calibrated detectors
- Repair of joints or components
- Nitrogen pressure test
- Deep vacuum
- Recharge by weight to the nameplate
- F-gas record entry
