Leak detection and regassing in Highbury
If an older system in your Highbury home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
If a system in Highbury has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Highbury is about 4 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. We cover N5 and the streets around them.
