Power Flushing Baildon | Healey Gas Service

What happens during a Central Heating power flush?

During the lifetime of your heating system, black iron oxide sludge and lime scale accumulate in all areas, coating pipes and radiators, or reducing hot water flow. Lowering the flow causes your boiler to experience more pressure, leading to higher fuel consumption. By using a combination of water and chemicals, power flushing removes built-up iron oxide and limescale deposits from the central heating system. Your heating system will return to its optimal state when you flush away built-up deposits, allowing hot water to circulate freely through your central heating systems and reducing the workload on this part of your boiler.

Warning signs that you should take action to improve your health. Bleaching your radiators can lead to a dirty water. This is one of the primary signs that this is happening. Contamination of your central heating system can be caused by a variety of factors, including bacteria growth and incorrect installation. The symptoms of severe infection in your system can be identified by observing the following signs, although they are not always visible. Radiators that require constant bleeding. When radiators are blocked with water, it turns into brown or black water. What is the solution? Your radiators are equipped with cold strips that sit at the base of them. The sound of your radiators or boiler kettling being excessive. Leaking radiators and pipework. Your boiler is frequently malfunctioning or requiring reconditioning. Non-conductive radiation sources. What are they? There are some radiators that require more time to heat than others. Cold radiators but hot pipes. Your attic header tank and overflow pipe are leaking. Caused by a malfunctioning central heating pump or pump failure.

#1 Upon arrival, will use a Thermal Imaging camera to conduct onsite inspection of your central heating system to document the current state of the system and determine the appropriate location for equipment.

#2 The power flush machine and Magnaclense are connected to your system, and a mixture of water, chemicals are added.

#3 The solution loosens the black iron oxide sludge and lime scale and pushes it through the system, as the solution passes through the system a special MagnaClean magnetic filter captures the iron oxide and lime scale, removing it from the system and allowing only liquid to pass back into the central heating system

The Central Heating Power Flushing process explained

#4 Once all iron oxide sludge and lime scale has been removed from the system the power flush is complete, allowing water to once again freely circulate around the central heating system.

#5 A inhibitors is left in the heating system to help protect your system from future build ups.

#6 A MagnaClense filter and lime scale inhibitor can also be installed after the power flush to help provide even better protection from further build up.

Benefits of a Central Heating power flush

The build-up of black iron oxide 'sludge' and lime scale is causing significant problems in central heating systems across the UK. The accumulation of build-up in heating systems can result in inadequate efficiency, which can lead to higher fuel costs and costly repair bills. By using our state-of­ the-art power flushing mechanism, we can eliminate the buildup and restore the central heating to its optimal level. Up to 25% of your heating bill can be saved by using a clean heating system, which reduces the amount of work needed for the boiler. Having your heating system power checked can prevent the likelihood of breakdowns and other costly issues. Among the many benefits of a central heating system power flush is:

Improved heating efficiency

One of the primary benefits of power flushing is improved heating efficiency. By removing the build-up of dirt and grime, your radiators and boiler can increase the efficiency of heat transfer, leading to faster warm-up times and a warmer home.

Extended boiler lifespan

Power flushing helps extend the lifespan of your central heating boiler. By removing damaging contaminants, your boiler is less likely to suffer from corrosion and breakdowns, leading to longer-lasting and more reliable heating.

Energy savings

A clean and efficient central heating system consumes less energy to achieve the same level of warmth, which can translate into cost savings on your energy bills.

Even heat distribution

Say goodbye to cold spots on your radiators! Power flushing ensures even heat distribution throughout your home, eliminating any areas that were previously difficult to keep warm.

Reduced carbon emissions

A well-maintained central heating system produces fewer emissions, contributing to a greener environment and reducing your carbon footprint.

As detailed above there are many benefits to having a power flush performed on a central heating system, both short and long term
