Leak detection and regassing in Widnes
If a system in Widnes has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.
If an older system in your Widnes home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Our Cheshire coverage takes in Widnes, about 7 miles from Warrington. Homes in WA8 are all within our coverage.
