The build up of sludge in hot water central heating systems is inevitable, no matter what fuel source is used. Over a period of time this sludge can block pipes and prevent the radiators from working efficiently leading to higher fuel bills and bringing forward the time when you need to replace some or all of your radiators.
Does my system need power flushing?
- Dirty black or brown water present when bleeding radiators (confirms system corrosion)
- Radiators cold at bottom due to black sludge
- Radiators cold all over due to blocked valves and pipes
- Irritating boiler noise from sludge or lime scale build up, a warning sign of imminent costly problems
- Little or no hot water due to blocked pipes and heat exchangers
- Boiler cutting out and no circulation due to blocked pump
- Radiators cold at top and need bleeding due to gases, a by product of rusting
Power Flushing your central heating system will remove the debris and will guarantee the efficient operation of your system, saving on your household costs.
