Leak detection and regassing in Billericay
Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Billericay.
If an older system in your Billericay home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Billericay is about 14 miles from Southend-on-Sea and falls within our Essex coverage. That includes the CM11 postcode district.
