Benefits of Powerflushing Your Central Heating System

A powerflush is a great way to keep your central heating system healthy and clean and it comes with a huge amount of benefits! But what actually is a powerflush? And how does it help? This blog post will help to clear these questions up for you!

What is a powerflush?

During a powerflush, water and cleaning chemicals are used to flush out your system at a very high velocity. This displaces any build-up, rust, dirt or debris that may have been blocking your pipes, leaving them cleaner and healthier.

When do I need a powerflush?

There are several signs that suggest you need a powerflush...

• Your radiators take a long time to kick in or do not heat up at all
• If cold spots remain on your radiators, even after bleeding them
• If you can stick a magnet onto your copper pipes (indicates rust build up inside)
• If your boiler is making strange noises, such as banging, kettling or gurgling

Powerflushing your central heating system produces results that will last for years when teamed with regular boiler servicing.

Benefits of powerflushing

Powerflushing keeps your radiators warm

This benefit is noticeable straight away as you won't have to wait so long for your radiators to warm up anymore. Not only will they warm up quicker, but they may also feel a degree or two warmer, as the cold spots have all been removed. 

Powerflushing gives your central heating system a longer lifespan

Powerflushing cleans your central heating system and returns it to a brand new condition again. This reduces the risk of running into an expensive breakdown or pricey repairs in the near future. 

Powerflushing keeps your central heating system working efficiently

A powerflush leaves your system nice and clean, so it doesn't have to work as hard to heat to your home. This means it is using less energy but will make your home even warmer, so you may even be able to turn your thermostat down a little.
