Leak detection and regassing across East Sussex
If an older system in your Brighton 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 Brighton. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
