Leak detection and regassing in Kelso
Scottish summers are mild, so most systems here are chosen first for efficient heating, with cooling for warm spells. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Kelso.
If an older system in your Kelso home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Kelso is about 15 miles from Galashiels and falls within our Scottish Borders coverage. That includes the TD5 postcode district.
Prices in Kelso
Our Central and Southern Scotland guide price for leak detection and regassing is £225–£895 leak find, repair and recharge, VAT included. That sits a little below the UK middle, reflecting typical Central and Southern Scotland labour rates. Access, the number of indoor units and any parts are what move the price, and we confirm it before booking. As an example, the Standard option (leak in pipework or valve, full recharge) would typically be £365–£595 here.
