Leak detection and regassing in Shirley
If an older system in your Shirley home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Inland West Midlands towns can see sharp summer peaks, and the same system doubles as an efficient heater in winter.
Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Shirley. We cover Shirley as part of the West Midlands, roughly 6 miles from Birmingham. We cover B90 and the streets around them.
