Leak detection and regassing in Porthmadog

Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Porthmadog. North Wales has mild, damp weather for much of the year, so efficient heating and dehumidifying are big benefits.

If a system in Porthmadog has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. We cover Porthmadog as part of Gwynedd, roughly 21 miles from Bangor, Gwynedd. Coverage includes LL49.
