Power Flushing
What is a Power-Flush?
Over the years, as your heating
system is working away it begins to
corrode and leaves what we refer to as
sludge in the system. This sludge
travels around your heating system
sticking to the inside of the pipes. This
reduces the diameter of the pipe or in
some cases blocks the pipe
completely. Sludge will also find its
way into your radiators causing the
radiator to be cold at the bottom and
hot at the top. This results in the room
receiving insufficient heat and taking far
to long to warm up. This will create a huge strain on your
boiler as it has to work twice as hard to heat your house -
not forgetting using twice as much gas resulting in high gas
bills!
Your boiler's heat exchanger is also at risk from sludge build
up which will decrease the life span of the boiler.
Clearflow will arrive at your property with our Power-
Flushing machine and connect this to your heating system
whilst flushing around an acid based chemical to clean out
any sludge build-up and replenish your heating system with
clean water. A central heating inhibitor is used which
dramatically slows down any sludge build-up for many
years.
A full heating power-flush will take at least a day to
complete. Prices differ due to size of system and number of
radiators etc.
The benefit in power-flushing your heating system can be
felt immediately due to the increased rate at which your
house will now heat and how much extra heat each radiator
will produce. Over a longer time period gas bills will also be
lowered due to reduced boiler usage. Power-flushing can
also result in fewer boiler breakdowns.
