Leak detection and regassing in St Andrews
If an older system in your St Andrews home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Mild Scottish summers mean cooling matters most in conservatories, lofts and rooms with large windows.
If a system in St Andrews has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. St Andrews sits around 31 miles from Dunfermline, inside our Fife area. Postcode districts we cover here include KY16.
