Leak detection and regassing in Barnstaple
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Barnstaple.
If an older system in your Barnstaple home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Barnstaple lies roughly 49 miles from Plymouth, and we cover it as part of Devon. Homes in EX31 are all within our coverage.
