Power Flushing

The Problem

Over time, sludge, rust and limescale build up inside your central heating system. This reduces efficiency, causes cold spots on radiators, increases noise, and can lead to expensive breakdowns. In severe cases, it can damage your boiler beyond repair.

The Solution

Power flushing is the most effective way to clean your central heating system. Using specialist equipment, we pump water and cleaning chemicals through your system at high velocity to dislodge and remove sludge, rust and scale deposits.

What Is Power Flushing?

Power flushing is a process that uses a high-flow, low-pressure pumping unit to circulate water and cleaning agents through your heating system. The process flushes out deposits that have built up over the years, leaving your system clean and running at full efficiency.

Fitting New Boilers

We strongly recommend a power flush before fitting a new boiler. Installing a new boiler onto a dirty system can void the manufacturer's warranty and reduce the lifespan of your new boiler. A clean system ensures your new boiler works at peak performance from day one.

Signs Your System Needs a Power Flush

  • Radiators cold at the bottom but warm at the top
  • Radiators take a long time to heat up
  • Noisy boiler or heating system
  • Discoloured water when you bleed radiators
  • Some radiators don't heat up at all
  • Boiler keeps cutting out
  • Heating system is slow to warm up

How We Power Flush

Our engineer connects the power flushing unit to your central heating system and circulates water and cleaning chemicals through each radiator individually. The process reverses the flow to dislodge stubborn deposits. Each radiator is flushed until the water runs clear.

Cleaning and Treating

Once the system is thoroughly flushed, we add an inhibitor chemical to protect against future corrosion and scale build-up. This helps keep your system running efficiently for years to come.
