Leak detection and regassing in Dorchester
If a system in Dorchester has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
If an older system in your Dorchester home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Our Dorset coverage takes in Dorchester, about 24 miles from Bournemouth. We cover DT1 and the streets around them.
