Leak detection and regassing across Edinburgh and the Lothians
If an older system in your Edinburgh home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. If a system in Edinburgh has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Long Scottish heating seasons make efficiency in cold, damp weather the thing to design around.
