Leak detection and regassing in Downpatrick
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Downpatrick. In Northern Ireland, homes on oil or electric heating can look at air-to-air systems for efficient warmth.
If an older system in your Downpatrick home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Downpatrick sits around 23 miles from Bangor, County Down, inside our County Down area. Postcode districts we cover here include BT30.
