Why you should get a radiator power flush

Are your radiators as warm and eco-friendly as they used to be? Have you noticed rocketing energy bills? Then it’s time to have them power flushed. But what exactly is power flushing? Read on to find out.

What is a radiator power flush?

A power flush is the process of removing built up sludge and rust inside your central heating system. It’s a cost-effective, reliable way to improve the amount of heat that comes from your radiators – all while reducing your energy bills.

The tell-tale signs you need a power flush

• Your radiators are taking a lot longer to heat up than usual – and when they finally do, they’re not as warm as before
• One or more have your radiators have started leaking or stopped working altogether
• Your heat pump is noisier than before
• Parts of your radiators have cold spots, even when they’re turned on
• When your radiators eventually heat up, they’re not as warm as they should be
• You’ve noticed sludge or discoloured water in the radiators’ expansion or feed tanks 

It’s worth checking your boiler too – even if your radiator seems to be working properly, a rattling or clunking noise from your boiler is another sign that something’s wrong. If it keeps cutting out, that’s another red flag too.

Why radiator power flushing?

Power flushing definitely has its benefits – and plenty of them! Not only will you find your rooms heat up a lot quicker, you’ll experience lower energy bills too. It’s also a great way to prolong the life of your central heating system – you won’t need as many repairs, and you’ll enjoy all the warmth you’ve been missing! And with the removal of all the sludge and rust, your radiators will be much cleaner, too.

How long does the process take?

Not very! Because the radiators don’t need to be removed, it typically only takes around half a day to complete it – so you’ll soon enjoy a smoother running central heating system.
