• Cold spots within your rads
• Your boiler or heating system is struggling a little and making more noise than usual
• If you bleed your radiators and the water is discoloured somewhat, that’s a sign that there is dirt in the system

How does Power Flushing Work?

Firstly, your entire heating system is completely flushed in order to restore full circulation.  Everything throughout your heating system is removed and the system cleaned.

A powerful pressure pump is connected to your central heating system and with the aid of a power flushing chemical solution, the pump cleans the entire system.

Regarding the chemicals used in the power flushing process, they include a chemical to break sludge and a remover to rid your heating system of any rust and sludge.  A descaler is address any lime scale build-up and also a corrosive inhibitor chemical to stop any future rust build-up.  Don’t worry once the entire process is completed and your system completed flushed there will be no acid in your central heating system, including the water.
