Leak detection and regassing in Kirkwall

Leak detection and regassing in Kirkwall

Wind and salt air in the north of Scotland mean outdoor unit placement and protection need extra thought. If an older system in your Kirkwall home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged.

Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Kirkwall. Kirkwall is part of our Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles coverage. Homes in KW15 are all within our coverage.

Prices in Kirkwall

Leak detection and regassing in Kirkwall typically comes in at £220–£895 leak find, repair and recharge including VAT, based on Highlands, Islands and North East Scotland rates.
