Leak detection and regassing in St Austell
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. If an older system in your St Austell home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged.
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in St Austell. Our Cornwall coverage takes in St Austell, about 13 miles from Truro. We cover PL25 and the streets around them.
