Powerflushing is an effective process that will help boost your central heating system. We use a Magna Cleanse process which can all be completed within 2 hours, so it won’t disrupt your day too much.
What you need to know is when a powerflushing service may be most beneficial. Whilst it’s good to help improve the health of your central heating, it can also help resolve common heating problems. Continue reading to find out what those heating problems are.
If you’ve noticed some parts of your radiators are colder than others
The most common cause for radiators being cold in areas is due to a deposit buildup on the inside of the radiator. This is because the minerals that are in the water that passes through your radiators turn to solids when warm and stick to the metal surface of the radiator. As these particles build up an internal layer on the inside of the radiator, it prevents the heat transferring from the water inside of the radiator to the outside of the radiator. A powerflushing service will clean out the system and remove any buildup like this and help the water flow through the entire of your radiator more effectively.
You’ve noticed a delay in your central heating warming up
If there is a buildup of sludge within your radiators it can take them longer to heat up. This shouldn’t be the case as an efficient central heating system will start to warm up nearly immediately once the boiler has started. The cause of this is similar to that of the cold patch issue discussed in the point above. A powerflushing service will remove any sludge build up within the system. This will allow the water to pass through the system much more efficiently and quickly, allowing the hot water to circulate through the whole system much faster than before.
You’re finding you have to bleed your radiators more frequently>/h2>
Trapped air in your central heating system can make your heating less efficient and can cause banging noises coming from your boiler or the pipes connected to your boiler. Bleeding your radiator, whilst can help improve the situation, is not a long-term solution. Powerflushing is a more effective and longer-term solution to improve the efficiency of your radiators. If you’ve ever noticed dark liquid escaping your radiators when you bleed them, this is another indication that there is a buildup of sludge that needs to be removed.
