Leak detection and regassing in Inverness
Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. If a system in Inverness has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed.
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Inverness. We cover Inverness and the rest of the Highlands, including Fort William and Alness. Coverage includes IV2.
Prices in Inverness
Leak detection and regassing in Inverness typically comes in at £220–£895 leak find, repair and recharge including VAT, based on Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland rates. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland labour rates. The price depends mostly on how many indoor units there are and how easy the outdoor unit is to reach. On our Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland figures, the Standard option (leak in pipework or valve, full recharge) is about £350–£595.
