Power Flushing
What is a Powerflush?

A Powerflush is a cleansing process which aims to remove deposits of sludge, rust and any other debris from your central heating system.

Does your central heating, boiler and radiators need a powerflush?

Look out for these common symptoms;
Radiators are cold

Radiators are cold because they contain dirty water and are clogged up with corrosion debris. In this state the heating system burns a lot more fuel as it struggles to heat the home.
Boiler cuts out or bangs
 
Boilers make loud banging noises called "kettling" because corrosion debris blocks and damages the heat exchanger. Blockages reduce circulation causing boilers to overheat and cut out.
Hot water unreliable

Hot water fluctuates hot and cold due to corrosion debris in the combi boiler domestic heat exchanger. Flow reduce to a trickle due to limescale. If the problem is left too long the domestic heat exchanger may need to be replaced.
Radiator pipes blocked

If radiators are stone cold then corrosion debris maybe blocking radiator pipes and the sooner the system is powerflushed the better before blockages become permanent and need to be cut out.
What Are the Benefits of a Powerflush?

It’s not all doom and gloom; there are lots of positive reasons to get a Powerflush carried out too.

Radiators will heat up quicker
Radiators will get hotter
Quieter radiators / boiler
More energy efficient system = cheaper energy bills
Higher hot water temperatures
More reliable i.e. less chance of breakdown
Increase the life of your heating system.

How Much Will a Powerflush Cost?

There are lots of factors that will affect the price of a Powerflush such as size and complexity of the heating system. A Powerflush can cost anything between £300 to £1000 . Sometimes there will be additional costs like extra descaler chemicals or replacing the TRVs.

It’s important that your central heating system is as efficient as it can be at all times and, although a Powerflush can be an expensive process, it can also save a lot of money over time in reduced heating bills.
