Leak detection and regassing in Livingston
In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Livingston.
If a system in Livingston has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Our Edinburgh and the Lothians coverage takes in Livingston, about 13 miles from Edinburgh. Coverage includes EH54.
