Leak detection and regassing in Fleetwood
North West summers are cooler, so many systems here earn their keep as efficient heaters, with cooling for the warmest weeks. If an older system in your Fleetwood 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 Fleetwood. Our Lancashire coverage takes in Fleetwood, about 17 miles from Preston. Homes in FY7 are all within our coverage.
