Leak detection and regassing across the Highlands
If an older system in your Inverness 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 Inverness. Northern Scotland's climate puts the emphasis on reliable, efficient heating, with cooling a minor bonus.
Prices in the Highlands
Budget around £220–£895 leak find, repair and recharge including VAT for leak detection and regassing in and around the Highlands. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland tend to be. Access, the number of indoor units and any parts are what move the price, and we confirm it before booking. On our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland figures, the Standard option (leak in pipework or valve, full recharge) is about £350–£595.
