The Smart Boiler Company is passionate about keeping your central heating system in top condition to ensure that it’s always there when you need it. The best way to keep your heating system in good shape is Power flushing it regularly. A Power flush could significantly improve efficiency, increase the lifespan of your heating system and help prevent breakdowns.

What is Powerflushing?

A power flush removes any sludge or debris that has built up in your radiators or central heating system. It makes sure that the water in your heating system circulates efficiently through the complete system, so that you get the most efficient heating possible.

1. Does Your Radiators Need Power flushing?

There are many reasons a power flushing is beneficial for your central heating system. It may fix some problems below with power flushing.

2. Some Rooms Are Colder Than Others

If some rooms in your home heat more quickly than others, power flushing could be the answer. A heating system that is clean and efficient will help ensure that your entire home is heated with no rooms feeling cold than they should be. A build-up of sludge could cause radiators with cold spots at the bottom of your radiators. If this is the case, Power flushing should solve the problem and have your radiators back in prime working order.

3. Your Central Heating Takes A Long Time to Warm Up

A quick and easy power flush could really speed up your central heating system. Having a heating system that isn’t there as soon as you need it can be frustrating, especially in the colder months.

4. You’re Having To Bleed Radiators Frequently

It’s important for your heating system to have regular maintenance checks and I often recommend power flushing for older systems and those which are being used less frequently. If your water from your radiator has a dark colour and you notice it occurring more frequently than usual, then it may be a signal of debris or sludge in your heating system and power flushing would be an ideal way of removing it.

5. You Have Limited or No Hot Water

Having limited or no hot water is a real problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Sometimes power flushing may be necessary to remove sludge and rust from your system and get it back into working order.

6. You’re Having a New Boiler Installed

Power flushing your heating system is necessary if you have a new boiler installed in an old central heating system. In order to avoid damaging the new boiler, it should be flushed, as any contaminants that are already present in the old system could affect its performance.
