Leak detection and regassing in Braintree
If an older system in your Braintree home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Low rainfall and long summer days in the East of England make south-facing rooms the first to overheat.
If a system in Braintree has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Braintree is about 25 miles from Southend-on-Sea and falls within our Essex coverage. Homes in CM7 and CM77 are all within our coverage.
