Leak detection and regassing in Castle Douglas
If an older system in your Castle Douglas home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Castle Douglas. Castle Douglas sits around 15 miles from Dumfries, inside our Dumfries and Galloway area. We cover DG7 and the streets around them.
