Leak detection and regassing in Formby
If a system in Formby has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. In the North West, heating efficiency is often the main benefit, with summer cooling a welcome bonus.
If an older system in your Formby home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Formby is about 11 miles from Liverpool and falls within our Merseyside coverage. Coverage includes L37.
