When should you get a system Powerflush?

Powerflushing is necessary whenever a system becomes exceedingly contaminated. These conditions can be caused by a variety of different factors, such as the system being installed incorrectly, the system not being properly cleaned before the installation takes place and different forms of bacterial growth.

If you are thinking of having a new boiler unit installed in your home, then UK building regulations recommend that a substantial cleanse is done before the installation takes place. 

The cleansing process can vary in scope, from a simple flush through the system with clean water all the way to the intense ability of power flushing, which is needed on heavily contaminated systems. The cleaning process is needed in order to stop the new system from also becoming contaminated and held back by all the debris and sludge that was present within the old system.

Signs That You Need A Powerflush

The time and effort you put into taking care of your property's central heating system can save you massive amounts of time and money in the long term. 

Over time, types of debris and sludge can slowly collect within your heating system, which can then lead to your pipes and radiators corroding. As a consequence of this, the pipes and radiators can become blocked, which will reduce the amount of heat which is able to reach the important areas of the heating system.

The majority of the time, when debris or sludge appears in a heating system, it will soon not be able to function properly and lead to major damage to the system's pipes, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and more. In some circumstances, an entirely new boiler will be necessary, which can cost the property owners upwards of several thousand pounds. 

This is money that does not have to be spent if you just take some time to look after your heating system and ensure it is well-maintained. A simple way to ensure that this does not happen is to have your heating system go through the process, which is known as the power flush.

Many people have never heard of power flushing, or if they have, they are not quite sure what it does or how it should be used. Power flushing is absolutely vital to have done regularly in order to stop the kinds of problems described above from occurring. 

Power flushing is a cleaning service which can be carried out on your central heating system. The process is simple to carry out and will remove almost all sludge and any corrosion which has built up and caused issues in your system.

Before you go out and find someone to carry out a power flush procedure for you, there are some important signs to look out for, which can give you a good idea of whether the process will be necessary. These checks can just be done by yourself, or you can have a professional take a look at your system for you.

If you are constantly having issues with your central heating system and you are experiencing at least a couple of the signs described above, then it may be worth your time to invest in your system being power flushed.

What is a power flush and how does it work?

When your central heating system is full up from months worth of dust, limescale, dirt, sludge, and other debris, a power flush can be used to blast chemicals through your system at high pressure and clear all the blockages which are causing issues for your property. 

The power flush is done by using a specialised machine which should only ever be used by a trained engineer.

How much is the cost of a power flush?

On average, the whole process of having a power flush carried out takes somewhere between one to two days, and the usual cost is around the £300 and £500 mark. 

Of course, this is dependent on the size of your home, whereabouts in the country you are based, and the severity of the issue. That cost may seem steep at first, but it is absolutely worth paying for because a power flush is certain to improve the lifespan of your entire heating system and make sure that your home is being heated effectively.
