Power Flush
What does a central heating power flush do?
A central heating power flush is a process that involves cleaning and flushing out the central heating system to remove sludge, rust, debris, and other contaminants that can build up over time.
If you plan to install a new boiler or make significant changes to your central heating system, a power flush is often recommended before the installation. This ensures that the new equipment operates optimally and is not affected by existing debris in the system.
Overall, a central heating power flush is a proactive maintenance measure that can optimise your heating system's performance, improve energy efficiency, and potentially save you money on heating costs in the long run. It is best to consult a qualified heating engineer or plumber to assess whether your central heating system would benefit from a power flush and to carry out the procedure safely and effectively.

Improved Efficiency
Over time, sludge and debris can accumulate in the pipes, radiators, and boiler of your central heating system. This build-up restricts the flow of water, reducing the system's overall efficiency. A power flush helps to restore proper water circulation, ensuring that the system operates at its optimum efficiency, which can lead to lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions.
Polonged System Lifespan
The accumulation of sludge and debris in the central heating system can cause unnecessary strain on the components, including the pump, boiler, and radiators. By removing these contaminants, a power flush helps to reduce wear and tear on the system, potentially extending its lifespan.
Reduced Risk of Boiler Damage
Sludge and debris can be abrasive and can damage sensitive components in your boiler. By flushing out these contaminants, a power flush helps to prevent potential boiler breakdowns and costly repairs.
