The objective of flushing a heating system is to improve circulation and reduce boiler noise problems (caused by sludge and corrosion deposits) to optimise operation. Flushing removes deposits and the problems that they cause.
Power flushing involves the use of a special high powered pump and chemicals. (It is not sufficient to attempt to rinse out individual radiators or parts of the system using just a hose pipe and water).
We have recently chosen not to offer power flushing as a service, as it can often cause problems such as creating water leaks in a system with a weakness. It is also expensive and not certain to give good results.
We are happy to discuss alternatives to power flushing and options to try to improve your central heating performance.
After flushing a central heating system, we advise customers to have a corrosion inhibitor added to their heating systems. This chemical greatly reduces corrosion / sludge in the future and can protect a system for years.
As well as this, we recommend fitting a magnetic filter. This removes black iron oxide from the heating system water. Several versions are available and we can fit these filters without power flushing and have seen good results after a short space of time in a system.
We can take payment by debit card, but for larger jobs we prefer bank transfer, or cheque, to avoid high card fees.
