Snappy Heating
A clean central heating system is essential for the longevity of your boiler. Flushing protects all radiators and wet components within the boiler, especially the primary heat exchanger, which is extremely costly to replace. We use the best cleaning chemicals on the market to ensure a thorough job, with specialist equipment to optimise its effectiveness. This procedure takes no longer than a day but varies in duration depending on the amount of radiators. Flushing your system will save you bundles in the long run.
Black or brown water when bleeding water from your heating system is a sign of internal corrosion. It suggests a buildup of iron oxide sludge and other deposits.
If boiler noise has increased or your boiler cuts out regularly, deposits accumulate in the system. A Power Flush service will help avoid a costly boiler replacement.
Black sludge & limescale buildup inside the radiator causes cold spots, which reduce radiator efficiency, resulting in higher energy costs.
The heavy buildup of black iron oxide sludge at the bottom of the radiator blocks water flow into and out of the system, reducing efficiency and increasing energy costs.
Radiators that are cold at the top have buildup of hydrogen gases due to internal system rusting. A Power flush reduces excessive air and minimizes rusting.
15% of boilers breakdown annually - 60% due to Sludge.
80% of boilers break down in the first 5 years due to sludge.
Sludge is the No.1 cause of boiler breakdowns.
21.5 boilers in the UK. 6 million service calls a year.
Prepare for power flush: Boiler & central heating system are turned off.
Access For Power Flush Machine is decided upon: Inlet and outlet hoses are connected.
Power flush machine is connnected to the central heating system.
Power flush process begins: Dirty water to exit the system through the dump hose while new, clean water will circulate. The system runs until the water from the dump hose is clear.
When the water is clear, close both valves are closed and the power flush machine to is set to circulation mode. Top notch cleaner chemicals are added into the machine through an inlet which is in front of the machine.
Radiator are flushed individually. The process continues until all the radiators are cleaned.
Clean water is used to replenish the system: Radiator valves are opened and water circulates around the system.
Inhibitors are added to protect the system - Water is tested for protection.
System is reconnected - Power flush machine is disconnected. Boiler and controllers are turned on. System is fired up to get the right temperature.
Central heating checks - Any trapped air is removed by bleeding the radiators. The system is now optimized for maximum effectiveness & effficancy.
