Leak detection and regassing in Newton Aycliffe
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Newton Aycliffe. In the North East, sizing for winter heating and then checking summer cooling usually gives the right system.
If an older system in your Newton Aycliffe home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Our County Durham coverage takes in Newton Aycliffe, about 11 miles from Durham. That includes the DL5 postcode district.
