Leak detection and regassing in Chorley
Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Chorley.
If an older system in your Chorley home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Chorley sits around 9 miles from Preston, inside our Lancashire area. Homes in PR7 are all within our coverage.
