Milton Keynes’ power flush specialists
Power flush specialists in Milton Keynes
First, let’s dive into what power flushing is and how it can benefit your central heating system.
Over time, radiators and pipes accumulate substances such as sludge, rust and other debris. These contaminants can significantly affect the efficiency of your heating system by hindering proper circulation. That leads to higher energy costs and decreased heat output, and if left unchecked, it can cause complete blockages that stop your heating from working. Enter the power flush, your central heating super hero.
What is a power flush?
A power flush involves forcing a high-speed, low-pressure flow of water mixed with special cleaning agents through your heating system. It’s designed to be powerful enough to clear out the obstructions and contaminants, while not damaging the system itself. A good flush will restore the system to optimum performance.
How do I know if I need a power flush?
Some common indicators that your system might be in desperate need of a power flush include:
- Radiators are slow to heat up: Water flow is probably being restricted by debris.
- Colds spots in radiators: The heat from the circulating water won’t penetrate sludge and debris, so parts will remain cold if there’s a significant build-up.
- Discoloured water: If you bleed the radiators and the water is dark, you probably have a sludge build-up throughout the system. Time for a fresh start.
- Noisy boiler or radiators: This is often caused by sludge or corrosion inside.
Prefer preventative action? Some people like to give their system a power flush every so often even if there are no symptoms – it just cleans out the system and gives peace of mind.
