Power Flushing

What is power flushing?

Power flushing is a process used to clean and maintain central heating systems. It involves circulating a high-strength cleansing agent through the system to remove sludge, rust and other debris that can build up over time.

Why is power flushing necessary for boilers?

Over time, central heating systems can accumulate sludge and debris, which can reduce the efficiency of the boiler, causing cold spots on radiators and even lead to potential breakdowns. A power flush will help restore the system to its optimal performance.

How long does a power flush take?

The duration of a power flush depends on the size and condition of your heating system. Typically it can take between 4/8 hours.
