Leak detection and regassing in Thatcham
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Thatcham.
If an older system in your Thatcham home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Our Berkshire coverage takes in Thatcham, about 13 miles from Reading. Coverage includes RG18.
