Leak detection and regassing in Portsmouth
Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation. If an older system in your Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth. Portsmouth is about 15 miles from Southampton and falls within our Hampshire coverage. That includes the PO5 postcode district.
