Leak detection and regassing in Largs
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Largs. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
If an older system in your Largs home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Largs lies roughly 19 miles from Kilmarnock, and we cover it as part of Ayrshire. That includes the KA30 postcode district.
