Leak detection and regassing in Helensburgh
Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. If an older system in your Helensburgh home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged.
If a system in Helensburgh has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Helensburgh lies roughly 40 miles from Oban, and we cover it as part of Argyll and Bute. We cover G84 and the streets around them.
