Leak detection and regassing in Smethwick
If an older system in your Smethwick 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 Smethwick. Smethwick sits around 3 miles from Birmingham, inside our West Midlands area. Postcode districts we cover here include B66.
