Spring Clean Your Heating System

It doesn’t have to be spring to clean your heating system, but it does have many advantages to doing it - such as increasing its life so it lasts much longer, making it more energy efficient, helping you save money and helping it to deliver a better, higher performance when required.

What signs are there that tell you your central heating system is in need of a clean?

The clues to look out for are:

• Cold spots on your radiator and taking longer than usual to heat up

• Hot at the top but not heating at the bottom

• Some radiators are not coming on at all in some parts of the house.

What does flushing entail when cleaning a central heating system out?

The term power flush is used to describe the process of clearing out any sludge and other debris and deposits from the system. If your system is older than 6 months then this will be a process that is more than needed because the radiators will have gathered debris and sludge over time.

What good does flushing the system do?

Flushing out the central heating system will help restore the healthy circulation of your radiators after shifting the buildup of debris and sludge. Ideally, a professional heating and plumbing expert should flush your heating system. The entire process can take several hours so it’s best to have someone who knows exactly what they’re doing.

There are many advantages to having your central heating system cleaned.

Remember despite the initial cost upfront to having such a procedure carried out on your heating system, a power flush will help you to save on energy bills in the future, help improve the performance of your radiators, so that you stay warmer for longer periods during the winter.
