Which postcodes do you cover in Frome?

Is it worth repairing an old system?
If it uses R22, has repeated faults or needs a compressor, replacement is often better value. We give you both options.
Can you just re-gas it?
Re-gassing without finding and fixing the leak only delays the problem. We locate and repair the leak, then charge the system and record the quantity.
