What exactly is power flushing?

So, first and foremost, what exactly is power flushing? This entails pumping non-harmful chemicals into your heating system to dislodge any sludge or mineral build-up that may be impairing the efficiency and operation of your boiler or central heating.

Signs you need to book a power flush

Black Water is present when you bleed your radiators

If there is black water, this is one of the warning signs to look for. Black sludge typically forms when the radiator, pipes or boiler begin to deteriorate.

If your radiator has cold spots

Cold spots in radiators can occur for a variety of reasons. Trapped air can make the top of the radiator cold. However, sludge and rust deposits might cause coldness in the radiator's bottom and middle sections. In this instance, power flushing may be required.

Noisy Pipes

The pipes in your central heating system may make noise. This could indicate that they are not properly secured or that they have overheated. Turning off the heating is a quick way to check whether they are overheating. Allow the pipes to cool before heating them up again. If you hear clicking or any other unusual noise, consult our heating specialists.
