Leak detection and regassing in Brighton
In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon. 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. Brighton is one of the main towns we cover in East Sussex, alongside Eastbourne and Hastings. That includes the BN2 postcode district.
