Leak detection and regassing in Walkden
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 Walkden.
If an older system in your Walkden home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Walkden lies roughly 7 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. Postcode districts we cover here include M28.
