A Guide to Powerflushing

Are you experiencing cold or leaky radiators, or a boiler that seems as though it’s on the blink? If so, you could be in need of a powerflush. That’s where we come in.  We've outlined a rough guide to power flushes, in case you've never heard of one or would like to find out more what they entail.

What is a central heating powerflush?

A powerflush is a process that involves pumping a central heating system with a strong set of chemicals that aim to clear out any sludge, rust and debris that could have accumulated.

Telltale signs you could be in need of a powerflush include:

●  Cold spots on your radiators

●  Noisy boiler and/or radiators

●  Radiators taking a long time to heat up

●  Discoloured (or even no) water when you bleed a radiator

If any of the above rings a bell, feel free to get in touch with our team now on 0203 488 0883 or 07921 705246 to request a quote, completely free of charge.

Our qualified engineers are professionally trained to handle the specialist equipment and chemicals involved in undertaking a powerflush - if the work is not completed correctly, this could cause further damage to your central heating system.

What are the benefits of having a central heating powerflush?

Above all, a powerflush will drastically improve the energy efficiency of a central heating system in need of one.

Flushing out any sludge, debris and rust that may have accumulated within the pipework means better circulation, which could ultimately save you money on your energy bills.

Additional benefits of a powerflush include:

●  Hotter radiators that will heat up more quickly

●  Less chance of a full central heating system breakdown

●  An increased lifespan of your central heating system

●  Reduced noise from your boiler/ radiators

Keep in mind that a central heating system in need of a powerflush will encounter more problems as time goes on, so it’s important to take action before long-lasting damage occurs, which will only incur more cost.
