Increased Efficiency

Power flushing is a technique used to clean central heating systems and is a popular method to improve the efficiency of a heating system. It involves using high-pressure water and chemicals to remove sludge, debris, and rust that may have accumulated in your central heating system over time.

 

Trained and Qualified Engineers

A power flush can be carried out on any wet central heating system regardless of the fuel source, whether it is gas, oil or solid fuel. The process is carried out by trained and qualified engineers who use a power flushing machine to pump water and cleaning chemicals around the system at high pressure.

 

Removing Sludge and Rust

The process begins by isolating the heating system and removing the pump to attach the power flushing machine. The machine is then connected to the system, and water is pumped through it at high pressure. The water is usually mixed with cleaning chemicals that help to break down and remove any build-up of sludge, rust, and other debris that may be present in the system.

 

Dislodging Stubborn Debris

The power flushing machine has a flow reversal valve that allows the engineer to reverse the direction of the flow of water. This helps to dislodge any stubborn debris that may be stuck in the system. The engineer will then flush the system until the water runs clear, indicating that all the sludge and debris have been removed.

 

Corrosion Inhibitor

Once the system has been power flushed, the engineer will then add a corrosion inhibitor to help protect the system from a future build-up of sludge and rust. The inhibitor also helps to protect the boiler and radiators from corrosion and extends the life of the system.

 

Numerous Benefits

The benefits of power flushing are numerous. Firstly, it improves the efficiency of the heating system. When there is sludge and debris in the system, it can cause blockages and prevent heat from being distributed evenly around the system. This can result in cold spots and reduced efficiency. Power flushing removes these blockages, allowing heat to be distributed evenly and improving the efficiency of the system.

 

Secondly

Power flushing can extend the life of the heating system. When there is sludge and debris in the system, it can cause corrosion and damage to the system. Power flushing removes this debris, helping to prevent corrosion and prolonging the life of the system.

 

Conclusion

Power flushing is an effective way to clean your central heating system and improve its efficiency. It can be carried out on any wet central heating system regardless of the fuel source and is carried out by trained and qualified engineers. The benefits of power flushing include improved efficiency, extended life of the system, and protection from future build-up of sludge and rust.
