Leak detection and regassing in Bodmin
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Bodmin. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
If an older system in your Bodmin home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Bodmin sits around 20 miles from Truro, inside our Cornwall area. That includes the PL31 postcode district.

The visit
We agree the visit price before we come. On the day the engineer checks the system, carries out the agreed work and talks you through anything they find. A photo of the indoor unit's label and a short description of the problem help us price the visit accurately and bring what is likely to be needed.
