Leak detection and regassing across County Durham
If an older system in your Durham home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. If a system in Durham has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind.
