POWER FLUSHING
Are your Radiators Hot from Top to Bottom –
Left to Right?
A Power Flush could be an ideal solution to clean and maintain your central heating system to improve the amount of heat permitted from your radiators.
Eventually, the sludge in your system could also cause severe blockages and damage, leading to a costly breakdown to repair.
During a power flush, water is pumped at high velocity through the system to extract debris, limescale and sludge…
What is a power flush and why do I need it?
If these substances are left in your system, it could have an impact on the efficiency of your heating system by preventing even distribution of heat around your home.
When do I need a Power Flush?
There are a number of symptoms to look out for which could suggest that you have sludge or corrosion in your system.
These can include:
- No water escapes when you bleed a radiator.
- Cold areas at the bottom of your radiators.
- Excessive noise from the boiler or the heating
system pump. - Radiators cold but pipes are hot.
- Heating is slow to warm up.
- Cloudy tap water (limescale in system).
- Small leaks in radiators.
- Some radiators struggle to heat up as well as
others. - Boiler regularly shuts down and needs restarting.
- Discoloured water when you bleed the radiators.
- Noisy radiators and/or boiler.
What are the Advantages of a Power Flush?
Here are some of the ways in which your Central Heating System could benefit from a Power Flush:
- Improved energy efficiency.
- A more reliable system.
- Increase the lifespan of your system.
- Reduced chance of a breakdown.
- Hotter radiators.
- Radiators will heat up quicker.
- Quieter boiler and radiators.
- Higher hot water temperatures.

OUR ANNUAL SERVICING WILL INCLUDE:
A Gas Safe Engineer will perform various tests and visual checks on the boiler and heating system; during which the engineer may be able to identify potential areas of corrosion or sludge build-up.
The engineer will advise if a power flush is required, and make you aware of any potential leak risks which may arise in the most corroded areas.
If you service your boiler annually then a preventative power flush every 5-6 years could be all that’s necessary to clear debris and prevent any substantial blockages occurring.
However, the likelihood of rust and sludge forming often has a lot to do with the materials used on your heat exchanger. For example, copper heat exchangers are more durable than stainless steel which will corrode at a quicker rate.
We usually recommend having a power flush before a new boiler installation. This is to prevent any pre-existing rust and sludge in your pipework or radiators causing damage to your new boiler.
