Leak detection and regassing in Chingford
If an older system in your Chingford home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset.
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Chingford. Our London coverage takes in Chingford, about 11 miles from central London. We cover E4 and the streets around them.
