Leak detection and regassing in Shaftesbury
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Shaftesbury. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
If an older system in your Shaftesbury home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Shaftesbury is about 24 miles from Bournemouth and falls within our Dorset coverage. Postcode districts we cover here include SP7.
Prices in Shaftesbury
Guide prices around Shaftesbury run from £245 to £995 leak find, repair and recharge including VAT. That is broadly in line with national guide prices.
