Leak detection and regassing in Bude
If an older system in your Bude home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Bude. We cover Bude as part of Cornwall, roughly 45 miles from Truro. Postcode districts we cover here include EX23.
