Leak detection and regassing across Moray
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Elgin. If an older system in your Elgin home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought.
