Leak detection and regassing in Gateshead
If an older system in your Gateshead home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. North East summers are cooler, so heat pump heating is often the main draw, 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 Gateshead. We cover Gateshead as part of Tyne and Wear. That includes the NE8 postcode district.
