Leak detection and regassing in Plymouth
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Plymouth. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
If an older system in your Plymouth home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. As well as Plymouth itself, our Devon coverage takes in Exeter, Paignton and the towns around them. We cover PL2 and PL4 and the streets around them.
Prices in Plymouth
Our South West England guide price for leak detection and regassing is £245–£995 leak find, repair and recharge, VAT included. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. The price depends mostly on how many indoor units there are and how easy the outdoor unit is to reach. For reference, the Standard option in Plymouth (leak in pipework or valve, full recharge) usually comes to about £395–£650.
