Which symptoms indicate the need for Power Flushing?

• Areas on radiators which remain cool
• Noises coming from either your boiler or associated pipework
• The boiler works intermittently
• The system takes a long time to get to the desired temperature
• Signs of corrosion in the radiator water when bled (Dark colour)
• Unstable hot water supply with varying temperature
• The consequences of having a dirty central heating system

Central Heating is at it’s most efficient when heating the water unhindered.  When there is a sludge build-up, the boiler has to heat the sludge as well as the water.  Because some of the heat is absorbed in the sludge, the boiler works harder to reach the desired temperature.  This build-up gets worse with time and so the effects are worse and the boiler is more stressed.

The benefits of having a clean central heating system

A clean system allows the water to flow more freely and heat up quicker because of the lack of obstruction and contamination.  A side effect of this is  longer life expectancy of the key boiler components, leading to less costly repair bills.  Noise can also be greatly reduced due to lack of vibration caused by partly blocked flow paths.

What happens before the system can be flushed

Prior to carrying out the Power Flushing procedure, we establish what the symptoms are, where most of the problems are located around the central heating system and assess the severity of the sludge build-up.  Because of this procedure, every central heating system is treated individually and not with a one solution fits all approach.  We always establish the severity of symptoms before carrying out a thorough flushing routine.
