Leak detection and regassing in Bathgate
Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells. If an older system in your Bathgate 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 Bathgate. Bathgate is about 18 miles from Edinburgh and falls within our Edinburgh and the Lothians coverage. That includes the EH48 postcode district.
