Leak detection and regassing in Stanley
In the North East, sizing for winter heating and then checking summer cooling usually gives the right system. If an older system in your Stanley home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged.
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Stanley. Stanley sits around 8 miles from Durham, inside our County Durham area. That includes the DH9 postcode district.
