What is Powerflushing?

Experiencing cold or leaky radiators? You could be in need of a powerflush! Read on to find out exactly what a powerflush and how one can benefit your home’s central heating system.

What does a powerflush include?

During a powerflush, water and cleaning chemicals are injected into your central heating system at a very high velocity. This gives it the power to dislodge any build up blocking your pipes and components. Build up occurs naturally through use and is usually made up of dirt, debris, chemical and rust and can be removed easily through a powerflush.

Benefits of powerflushing your heating system

There are a range of benefits to powerflushing your heating system:

Warm radiators

Your radiators will feel much warmer and will heat up a lot quicker as hot water is free to circulate your central heating system more easily, rather than being blocked by debris. Your homes will also feel warmer as heat can travel all the way to the top of your radiators, free from cold spots.

Longer lifespan for your central heating system

Powerflushing gives your system the deep clean that it needs, restoring it to brand-new condition again. This means it can keep going for years longer than it could without power flushing, and a powerflush is much cheaper than having to buy a brand-new system.

Moreover, less strain is placed on your heating components—pumps, valves, and other crucial parts—when your system is clear and unobstructed. As a result, the central heating system becomes more dependable and quieter.

Improved boiler performance

The boiler can function more efficiently with a clear and debris-free system, which guarantees a steady and dependable supply of hot water throughout your house.

Better water quality
