Powerflushing is a way of cleaning your entire heating system. This
will rid your system of any build-up or blockages, which make your
radiators cold or patchy — thus making your whole system inefficient.
Powerflushing is a specialist job that involves moving water through
your system, as fast as possible to remove any troublesome debris. It
can be time consuming, this is why we use state-of-the-art machines
and magnets to pull out all the sludge, debris and magnetite. This
helps to increase the life of the whole system, keeping heating bills
down and reducing the risk of breakdowns.
A build-up of corrosion in your system, can create a sludge that really
affects the efficiency of your boiler. This one-off deep clean, makes
sure your radiators heat up properly and there are no more cold spots.
As Powerflushing is a specialist job, the price can vary depending on
the size of your house and system.
It is best practice to Powerflush the entire heating system
immediately before fitting a new boiler to an existing system. This will
prevent possible future problems, it also ensures that the
manufacturer’s warranty remains valid.
Many systems are found to contain corrosion and sludge, even if no
flow problems have yet shown themselves.
