If sludge and debris is not removed from heating systems, it can accumulate in radiators, pipework and heat exchangers, causing severe blockages. Not many people have heard about power flushing. It’s not until an engineer has informed you that your system is blocked or high amounts of sludge present in the system causing flow issues.
Power flushing is a popular method of cleaning and maintaining a central heating system. It is a is a cleaning unit that sends water at high velocity through the system to dislodge and remove debris, limescale, and sludge build-up. A thorough power flush will improve heat distribution throughout the property, subsequently lowering household energy bills and increasing system reliability. This has to be done by a qualified engineer.
The power flush can take anywhere from 4 hours to 8 hours depending on the size of the property and how many radiators are on the system.
