Leak detection and regassing in Pitsea
If a system in Pitsea has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for.
If an older system in your Pitsea home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Pitsea lies roughly 9 miles from Southend-on-Sea, and we cover it as part of Essex. Coverage includes SS13.
