A powerflush gets rid of sludge, debris, rust and build up
contaminating the insides of your central heating system. Over time, this
sludge can be very harmful and wastes you a lot of money by reducing the
efficiency of your system.
During a powerflush, cleansing chemicals are circulated at a
very high velocity, helping improve the cleansing process. This flushes out
anything that has been building up in your pipes over time, as well as
restoring your system to almost brand new again!
Signs you need a powerflush
- Little/no hot water- suggests pipework is blocked by sludge
- Cold spots on radiators - cold spots are a result of iron oxide sludge building up in the bottom of your radiator, restricting water flow.
- Central heating takes a while/doesn’t kick in- again, suggests pipework is blocked by sludge
- Dirty water when bleeding radiators- bleeding radiators may help with the circulation and can help with cold spots, but finding dirty water is a sign you need a powerflush
Benefits of a powerflush
Extended central heating lifespan
Keeping your boiler in good shape with a powerflush is the best way to ensure it lasts as long as it should. A powerflush clears out all of the harmful build up inside your central heating, returning it to a brand new condition. This reduces the risk of burst pipes or corrosion over time.
Improved efficiency with a powerflush
Removing all sludge and debris makes your boiler’s job a lot easier, when it comes to heating your home. Your system is free to work like brand new, wasting much less energy and saving you a noticeable amount of money, as a result.
Long lasting results
If you service your boiler each year, a powerflush can last for up to ten years. If you notice any warning signs earlier you should get it checked out with out gas engineers but, generally, you can expect a decade free from sludge, cold spots and slow-starting central heating.
