Leak detection and regassing in Southampton
If an older system in your Southampton home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Hot spells reach the South East early, which makes spring the easiest time to arrange an installation.
If a system in Southampton has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. As well as Southampton itself, our Hampshire coverage takes in Portsmouth, Basingstoke and the towns around them. That includes the SO15 postcode district.
