Power Flush From SK Plumbing & Heating
A Powerflush from SK Plumbing & Heating is a service that can help restore your boiler and central heating to full working order. Sometimes our customers notice problems with their heating, such as cold patches on radiators, which are a sign of a fault with the circulation of hot water through the system.
To fix issues such as this, our experienced engineers recommend a powerflush that will use high flow and low pressure to circulate high strength cleansing chemicals including de-scaler, corrosion inhibitor and a sludge breaker through your system. We would say that at least 30% of breakdowns are due to systems not being treated with a cleaner/inhibitor, thus allowing for the build-up of sludge within the whole of the heating system overtime
What Is A Powerflush?
Powerflushing your central heating system is a way to increase the effectiveness of your boiler. It also ensures that it runs smoothly and efficiently so you can save money on gas bills. The process involves injecting compressed water into all parts of the system, including radiators, pipes, pumps and expansion tanks. This breaks up any sediment or mineral deposits that have built up over time which would otherwise restrict water flow through the whole network.
A powerflush service will ensure optimum performance from your boiler by removing these obstructions before they become big problems in future years when wear becomes more serious due to lack of maintenance.
When Is A Powerflush Needed?
There are a few signs that you should look out for, and if they appear, then it might be time to get your system powerflushed. If the indoor unit of your central heating begins to make loud noises, this could indicate that there is debris in the pipework, which will need clearing. You may also notice poor heat output or an increase in energy bills which can be caused by clogged or restricted pipework.
Some other signs and symptoms to look out for are:
- Cold areas on radiators
- Excessive noise from the boiler or the heating system pump
- Discoloured water when you bleed the radiators
- Heating is slow to warm up
- Cloudy tap water (limescale in system)
- Some radiators struggle to heat up as well as others
- Radiators cold but pipes are hot
- Boiler regularly shuts down and needs restarting
- No water escapes when you bleed a radiator
- Small leaks in radiators
Powerflushes also need to be done when installing new boilers and new central heating systems. It is an essential step to getting longevity out of a new boiler since connecting a new boiler to a heating system that might have contaminated pipes and radiators will cause problems. It is also important to do a Powerflush before any work takes place on a central heating system which would otherwise disturb the pipework and increase chances of contamination.
If you spot any of these signs, then it is time for you to get in touch with our qualified and helpful team here at SK Plumbing and Heating.
How Does A Powerflush Work?
Powerflushing works by using high-pressure water to clean out the blockages within heating systems like central heating boilers or even hot water cylinders. Specific chemicals are often used in this process to clear out stubborn debris and sludge from your heating system. It basically removes all sediment build up over time which causes clogging issues with things like radiators and could lead to future problems with getting them working again if not dealt with properly now!
Benefits Of A Powerflush
Improved System Longevity – Another good reason to do a Powerflush is that it will help your system last longer. Over time, dirt and corrosion build up inside the pipes of any heating system with moving parts that are heated by hot water. When this occurs, there are problems, including rusting in radiators or lagging on boilers, forcing you to need more expensive repairs down the track when they could have been prevented by doing a simple service flush.
Less Chance of Corrosion – When all these deposits build up over time through routine use, eventually heat transfer becomes less effective, as well as allowing for higher rates of corrosion at different points throughout your central heating system’s looped piping. This makes future breakdowns much more likely before their normal life cycle is over. By doing a Powerflush on your system, these problems are also addressed so that they don’t have to occur in the future either.
