Leak detection and regassing in Stranraer

Leak detection and regassing in Stranraer

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 Stranraer.

If an older system in your Stranraer home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. We cover Stranraer as part of Dumfries and Galloway, roughly 57 miles from Dumfries. Postcode districts we cover here include DG9.
