Leak detection and regassing in Christchurch
South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Christchurch.
If an older system in your Christchurch home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Christchurch sits around 4 miles from Bournemouth, inside our Dorset area. Homes in BH23 are all within our coverage.
