What is power flushing?
Power flushing is a process that removes accumulated deposits from a commercial or residential heating system using pressurised water and chemicals.
Power flushing your system can result in a more efficient heating system and can help avoid the need for expensive repairs, saving you money on both your fuel bill and boiler maintenance.
Over the life span of a central heating system, Iron Oxide, often referred to as ‘sludge’, will accumulate in the system. This can have negative effects on the efficiency of the heating system and can lead to cold spots on your radiators, poor circulation and all-round inefficiency.
The longer the sludge sits in your system, the less effective your central heating becomes. This sludge also causes internal corrosion of your central heating systems parts. Professionally power flushing your radiators and pipes can help remove the sludge and keep corrosion at bay increasing the life of your heating system.
Signs a system may need flushing?
- Radiators discharge brown or black water during bleeding
- Poor circulation or a decline in system efficiency
- Radiators cold at the bottom
- Radiators cold at the top
- Noisy or loud boiler
