Leak detection and regassing in Swanage
Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks. If a system in Swanage has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed.
If an older system in your Swanage home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. We cover Swanage as part of Dorset, roughly 9 miles from Bournemouth. Postcode districts we cover here include BH19.
