Signs Your System Needs a Power Flush
Your central heating system may need a power flush if you notice these warning signs:
- Cold spots on radiators, particularly at the bottom
- Radiators requiring frequent bleeding
- Unusual noises like gurgling or banging from the boiler or radiators
- Slow warming of your heating system when turned on
- Some radiators heating while others remain cold
- Discolored water when bleeding radiators (brown or black indicates sludge)
- Increased energy bills despite normal usage
- Frequent boiler breakdowns or lockouts
Don’t ignore these symptoms – they typically worsen over time, potentially leading to component damage and system failure.
Our Professional Power Flushing Process
Our power flushing service thoroughly cleanses your entire heating system using specialized equipment. We begin by connecting our power flushing machine to your system and adding powerful cleaning chemicals that break down sludge and rust deposits. The machine then forces these chemicals through your system at high pressure, dislodging built-up debris from radiators, pipes, and your boiler’s heat exchanger. We flush each radiator individually, ensuring comprehensive cleaning throughout your system. After removing all contaminants, we introduce a corrosion inhibitor to protect against future buildup. The process typically takes 4-8 hours depending on system size and condition, but results in noticeably improved heating performance and efficiency.
