Power flushing is a sludge removal process which resolves a number of issues experienced with central heating systems. If your system is old then you have likely seen a gradual reduction in the efficiency of it as this sludge coats the internal piping and reduces circulating efficiency. Most central heating systems develop this sludge over time; there will be more in older systems.

Having a new boiler fitted to an older central heating system?

If you are having a new boiler fitted to an existing central heating system then your system should have a power
flush undertaken and it is likely that this is a manufacturer's requirement to maintain the new boiler's warranty. The reason your system should have a power flush is to avoid passing any sludge in your existing system through your new boiler and blocking it up.

Experiencing issues with your existing central heating system?

If your system is experiencing any of the issues below, then it is likely a power flush will help to resolve them:

• Noisy central heating system
• Radiator water is dirty
• System is slow to heat up
• Radiators that need frequent bleeding
• Boiler failure or lockout
• Pump noise or pump failure on your boiler
• Partially or completely cold radiators
• Blocked radiators
• Inoperative or leaking radiator valves

These problems are typically the result of sludge forming within your central heating system.

Power flushing clears any limescale, dirt, corrosion and rusting from your radiators, boiler and whole central heating system.

The following benefits can be seen as a result of a power flush undertaken on your central heating system:

• Efficient central heating and hot water
• Optimum working hot radiators and hot water
• Corrosion protected central heating
• Scale protected system
• Lower fuel bills (up to 25%)
• Peace of mind
• Central heating system cleaned as thoroughly as possible
• Increased pump life as your central heating pump handles clear water instead of sludge
• Clearing the boiler heat exchanger stops banging noises (kettling) and prolongs the life of your boiler
• Cleaning the whole central heating system, including under floor pipe work
• Quicker heat up times
