HOW IT WORKS
How do I know if my system needs a power flush?
Here are the symptoms to look out for:

PowerFlush cleans sludge, debris and rust build-up from your central heating system.
A PowerFlush will clean and remove sludge, debris, and rust buildup from the central heating system in your home. It’s usually done to improve the efficiency and of your heating system. Here are some situations when you would consider having a power flush:
- Radiators Not Heating Up Properly: If you notice that some or all of your radiators are not heating up evenly or taking a long time to reach the desired temperature, it could be a sign of sludge or debris buildup in the system.
- Cold Spots on Radiators: Cold spots at the bottom of your radiators can be indicative of sludge accumulation, preventing proper circulation of hot water.
- Strange Noises: If your heating system is making unusual noises like banging or gurgling, it could be due to trapped air or debris in the system.
- Reduced Efficiency: If your heating bills have increased, and your heating system seems less efficient, it may be because of a buildup of sludge and debris that is hindering the system’s ability to heat your home efficiently.
- Frequent Boiler Breakdowns: Frequent boiler breakdowns or the need for repairs could be linked to a dirty or clogged system. A power flush can help prevent future breakdowns.
- New Boiler Installation: If you’re installing a new boiler, it’s often recommended to have a power flush before the new boiler is connected to ensure that the heating system is clean and free of debris, which can help extend the life of the new boiler.
- System Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential for the long-term health of your heating system. Having a power flush as part of your routine maintenance can prevent issues from developing in the first place.
- Radiators Need Balancing: If you find that you constantly need to adjust radiator valves to maintain even heating throughout your home, it may be due to sludge and debris buildup. A power flush can help restore proper balance.
