Leak detection and regassing in Oldham
Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year. If an older system in your Oldham home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged.
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Oldham. Our Greater Manchester coverage takes in Oldham, about 6 miles from Manchester. We cover OL1 and the streets around them.
