Why should I power-flush my gas fired boiler and central heating system

As your heating system ages internal deposits accumulates within the pipework. efficiency suffers and will continue to decline as a sediment evolves. Flushing the central heating system will address the problem.





A power flush is an efficient way of removing this contaminants and dirt that build up inside your gas fired boiler and system over time.





Any system can develop this sediment problem over time, the main influence is the passage of time and hence the older your heating system the more likely it is to have this problem. A powerflush should be considered as part of the preparatory process before you install a replacement gas fired boiler. As the sludge and general dirt are disturbed in the new installation it will find its way into your new boiler and reduce its effectiveness and life span.





Adding corrosion inhibitor solution to your central heating system can also help in combating the buildup of deposits.





Some other problems which can be converted with a power-flush are listed below : -





* colder central heating radiators

* buildup of sediment in your gas fired boiler

* central heating water pump circulation problems

* clogging pipework

* corrosion attack inside the heating boiler and system

* reduced water circulation through blockages

* internal knocks and banging





If you do suffer from any of these the benefits of a power-flush could be :-





* removing depositsfrom the circulating water extending the operating life of the central heating pump

* radiator heating efficiency improvements as cold patches are eliminated

* lower heating charges through improved heating efficiency

* extended heating boiler and heat exchanger life

* cuts hydrogen gas build up which can lead to central heating radiator corrosion and reduced heat output

* clearing your heating system of contaminated water which could lead to internal heating system corrosion





A powerflush simple machine is used to complete the task. The central heating system water is circulated through the simple machine which filters out the deposits. New liquid is also forced into your gas boiler and central heating system. Once the task is finished the engineer should refill your gas boiler and central heating system adding a corrosion inhibiter to prolong its operating life.





A power-flush need to be performed by trained plumbers and there will be no messiness or complications.
