Leak detection and regassing across Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles
If a system in Stornoway has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. If an older system in your Stornoway home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. In the Highlands, Islands and the North East of Scotland, systems are sized for cold winter days first.
