Leak detection and regassing in Forres
Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. If an older system in your Forres home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged.
If a system in Forres has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. Our Moray coverage takes in Forres, about 12 miles from Elgin. We cover IV36 and the streets around them.
