Leak detection and regassing in Hereford
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Hereford. In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system.
If an older system in your Hereford home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. As well as Hereford itself, our Herefordshire coverage takes in Bromyard, Kington and the towns around them. That includes the HR1 postcode district.
