Leak detection and regassing across Fife
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Dunfermline. If an older system in your Dunfermline home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. In central and southern Scotland, heat pump heating is usually the main reason to install, especially in homes on electric heating.
