Leak detection and regassing across Tyne and Wear
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Newcastle upon Tyne. If a system in Newcastle upon Tyne has needed gas before, the original leak was probably never fixed. In the North East, sizing for winter heating and then checking summer cooling usually gives the right system.
