Leak detection and regassing in Northampton
The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Northampton.
If an older system in your Northampton home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. We cover Northampton and the rest of Northamptonshire, including Corby and Kettering. Postcode districts we cover here include NN1.
