Why you need to power flush your central heating this spring

A big spring clean of your home leaves it fresh for the year ahead, and exactly the same can be done for your central heating. After a long winter of heavy use, a power flush helps your boiler work more efficiently, reducing your energy bills throughout the year.

Why power flush your central heating system?

Over time, rust and debris build up in your pipes and the system becomes clogged with sludge. This prevents hot water moving through the house properly and makes your boiler less efficient, costing you money.

What does a power flush involve?

Using specialist chemicals, water and flushing machines, an engineer pumps water through your central heating system to dislodge and remove residual dirt, leaving the pipes clear and clean.

Will it cause disruption?

A power flush should not take longer than a few hours, and your engineer will clear away any mess, leaving your home as you left it.

Could a handy friend do it?

No. A power flush is a technical procedure and should be done by a professional to avoid damage. Work carried out by an unlicensed individual that is not manufacturer recognised will render your boiler warranty invalid.

What is the benefit?

A power flush saves you money by making your heating work more efficiently. With the pipes no longer blocked with grime, water moves freely and heats your home faster. It is also essential maintenance that keeps your system in good condition for the long run.
