Leak detection and regassing in Lerwick

Leak detection and regassing in Lerwick

If an older system in your Lerwick home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Here, heat pumps are sized for low winter temperatures and exposed sites.

Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Lerwick. We cover Lerwick as part of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. Homes in ZE1 are all within our coverage.
