System Efficiency

From the very first day your central heating was commissioned its efficiency starts to drop? It has been calculated that within a few months the system can lose 10% of its efficiency.
When copper pipe is exposed to hot water a chemical reaction takes place that produces a black substance called Magnetite. This circulates around the central heating system and eventually settles in the radiators, this seriously affects the performance of the system and can in many cases lead to boiler failure. This can be very expensive to repair.

On new installations it will soon be a legal requirement to put inhibitor into the system to prevent this happening. But this will not remedy the situation in older systems.

Power flushing is the only guaranteed method to clean the system and restore it to its original condition.

In many cases people have replaced boilers and carried out costly work to central heating systems, which have made little or no improvement in performance.

If you are spending a large sum of money upgrading to a High Efficiency Condensing Boiler, power flushing is essential. Your well-engineered product cannot fulfil its claim of 91.3 % efficiency with a system full of sludge. System debris and sludge will reduce the performance of your system by between 5 and 20%

Fitting a new boiler to an existing heating system?

The high efficiency and compactness of modern boilers, developed to minimize fuel costs and pollution, make them more susceptible to problems caused by debris in the system water.

Boiler manufacturers insist that heating systems must be thoroughly flushed before installing a new boiler. Failure to do so is quite likely to INVALIDATE any warranty.

A Power Flush is far more effective than traditional methods, and ensures that the boiler installation complies with ‘best practice’ standards. BS7593 – 2006. (becoming a regulatory part of the upgrade process)
