Power Flushing

What is Power Flushing?

Power flushing is a vital factor of home maintenance and acts as a cleansing process for your boiler and central heating system. Over time, your heating system could accumulate a build-up of dirt, sludge, rust and debris which if left untouched could lead to blockages, corrosion and in severe circumstances, a full breakdown of your boiler. Using a power flushing unit, the fully trained and gas-safe registered engineers at R&S Heating Services can effectively send high-velocity water and chemicals through your central heating system to dislodge and filter out any unwanted build-up of debris. Additionally, if you are having a new boiler installed, the building regulations recommend that power flushing is carried out prior to installation to guarantee the effectiveness of your new system. This helps to prevent your new boiler and central heating system from being contaminated by the sludge and debris that was present in your old one, reducing any future issues or breakdowns.

There are several warning signs to look out for that your boiler may require power flushing:

• Cold spots on your radiators.
• The radiators require constant bleeding.
• Noisy radiators and boiler.
• Radiator leaks.
• Frequent breakdowns.
• Central heating takes a long time to heat up.
• Discoloured water when radiators are bled.
• Cold radiators but hot pipes.
