First and foremost, it’s important to note that power flushing must only be carried out by a fully trained heating engineer to ensure it is completed correctly and to avoid any risk of damage. The primary aim of a power flush is to clean any accumulations of rust, sludge, limescale and debris in the pipework of your central heating system. A qualified engineer will flush any blockages out of the system with a specialist power flush machine using high flow and low pressure. High strength cleaning chemicals, such as sludge crust breaker and descaler, are then added to remove any stubborn blockages within the heating system. The overall procedure includes:
1. System Pre-cleaner
Breaks up dirt and blockages within your central heating system.
2. Flushing and Descaling Liquid
Targets sludge, rust and other debris and solves any circulation problems within your system which has caused cold spots on your radiators, boiler noises and pump failures.
3. Corrosion Inhibitor
Coats metal surfaces to protect them from corrosion or further rusting.
4. Neutralising Crystals
Neutralises any acidic flushing chemicals so there is no acid left in your heating system by the end of the process ensuring it is completely safe to use.
A Powerflush starts at £400 (including the expensive chemicals when replacing a boiler for up to 8 radiators or £40 for each additional radiator)
Its necessary to carry out to validate a boiler manufacturer's guarantee and if the central heating system is not clean it can block the boiler's heat exchanger.
To check, touch your radiators at the bottom and at the top when the heating is turned on. If you can feel a big difference in temperature (bottom is cold) then the radiator is full of sludge and the system needs a powerflush.
