Leak detection and regassing in Farnborough
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Farnborough. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
If an older system in your Farnborough home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Farnborough sits around 39 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. We cover GU11 and the streets around them.

Before booking, tell us the make and model and what the system is doing. We confirm the visit price, then the engineer arrives with the right equipment and, where possible, the right parts.
