Leak detection and regassing in York
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in York. Cold Yorkshire winters mean sizing for heating first, then checking the summer cooling load.
If an older system in your York home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. We cover York and the rest of North Yorkshire, including Middlesbrough and Harrogate. We cover YO1, YO10, YO24 and YO31 and the streets around them.
Prices in York
Our Yorkshire and the Humber guide price for leak detection and regassing is £235–£945 leak find, repair and recharge, VAT included. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Yorkshire and the Humber labour rates. The price depends mostly on how many indoor units there are and how easy the outdoor unit is to reach. On our Yorkshire and the Humber figures, the Standard option (leak in pipework or valve, full recharge) is about £375–£595.

The visit
We agree the visit price before we come. On the day the engineer checks the system, carries out the agreed work and talks you through anything they find. A photo of the indoor unit's label and a short description of the problem help us price the visit accurately and bring what is likely to be needed.
