Leak detection and regassing in Kirkcaldy
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Kirkcaldy. Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells.
If an older system in your Kirkcaldy home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Kirkcaldy lies roughly 12 miles from Dunfermline, and we cover it as part of Fife. Coverage includes KY1.
