Leak detection and regassing in Cambridge
Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for. If an older system in your Cambridge home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged.
If a system in Cambridge has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Cambridge is about 30 miles from Peterborough and falls within our Cambridgeshire coverage. Coverage includes CB5, CB21, CB22, CB23 and CB24.
