Leak detection and regassing in Pontefract
Yorkshire summers are mostly mild, so efficient winter heating counts for as much as cooling. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Pontefract.
If an older system in your Pontefract home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. Pontefract sits around 12 miles from Leeds, inside our West Yorkshire area. Homes in WF8 are all within our coverage.
