Does my central heating system need a powerflush?

You may not have heard of a central heating power flush, but this is a cleaning process that is characterised by chemicals that are pumped at a high velocity to clean your system of any sludge and debris. This flushes out everything that has accumulated in your pipes over time, as well as returning your system to near-new condition!

A power flush removes sludge, dirt, rust, and buildup from the insides of your central heating system. This sludge may be quite hazardous over time and costs a lot of money by lowering the effectiveness of your system.

Why choose us for a powerflush?

Our heating professionals utilise the best technology available to get the best outcomes for your central heating system. We begin by hooking up a pump to your central heating system and forcing specific chemicals into the pipes, boiler, and radiators.

We also add a sludge remover, a descaler, and a corrosion inhibitor to reduce the possibility of debris accumulating in your central heating system. We will safely dispose of the rubbish after we have collected it for you. Powerflushing can take anywhere from 6 to 10 hours, depending on a variety of circumstances.

How do you know when you need a powerflush?

Powerflushing is essential when your system is severely blocked. This can be caused by a number of factors, such as incorrect installation, a system that was not thoroughly cleaned prior to installation, or bacterial development. If you are installing a new boiler, the building standards demand that a proper cleanse be completed before installation.

On less damaged systems, this might range from a simple system flush with clean water to a powerful Powerflush. This helps to avoid sludge and debris from your old system from contaminating and impeding your new system.

How frequently should I get my system powerflushed?

We recommend performing a powerflush every 5 to 6 years. While a buildup of waste and sludge is hazardous for your system, it develops gradually over time, so a more frequent powerflush is typically unnecessary.

Can anyone do a powerflush?

Only someone who is Gas Safe registered should operate on your central heating system since they have the necessary skills and certifications. Without this registration, no one should operate with boilers or any other component of a gas central heating system.
