What is a Powerflush and Why Do I Need One?

Are you experiencing cold or leaky radiators or a boiler that seems as though it’s on the brink? If so, you could need a powerflush. That’s where we come in!

What is a powerflush?

A power flush is a comprehensive cleaning procedure for your central heating system. Its goal is to remove sludge, rust, limescale, and other materials that accumulate over time and reduce the system's efficiency and performance.

Telltale signs you could be in need of a powerflush include:

• Cold spots on your radiators
• Noisy boiler and/or radiators
• Radiators take a long time to heat up
• Discoloured (or even no) water when you bleed a radiator
• A magnet can attach to your copper pipes (a sign of internal rust build-up)

If any of the above rings a bell, feel free to get in touch with our team now at 01903 863224 to request a quote, completely free of charge! Our qualified engineers are professionally trained to handle the specialist equipment and chemicals involved in undertaking a powerflush - if the work is not completed correctly, this could cause further damage to your central heating system.

The benefits of a central heating powerflush

Above all, a powerflush will drastically improve the energy efficiency of a central heating system in need of one. Flushing out any sludge, debris and rust that may have accumulated within the pipework means better circulation, which could ultimately save you money on your energy bills!

Additional benefits of a powerflush include:

• Hotter radiators that will heat up more quickly
• Less chance of a full central heating system breakdown
• An increased lifespan of your central heating system
• Reduced noise from your boiler/ radiators

Keep in mind that a central heating system in need of a powerflush will encounter more problems as time goes on, so it’s important to take action before long-lasting damage occurs, which will only incur more cost.
