Leak detection and regassing in Chester
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Chester. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.
If a system in Chester has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Chester lies roughly 19 miles from Warrington, and we cover it as part of Cheshire. Coverage includes CH1.
