Leak detection and regassing in Bolton
If an older system in your Bolton home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks.
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Bolton. Bolton lies roughly 11 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. Coverage includes BL1, BL11 and BL78.
