Power Flushing

APG Domestic Services specialise in powerflushing throughout Lancashire.

What is power flushing?

Powerflushing is a cleaning process used to remove sludge, rust, and other debris from a central heating system. It involves circulating a high-velocity, low-pressure flow of water and a cleaning agent through the system to dislodge and remove accumulated deposits.

  • Improved Efficiency: Powerflushing helps to restore the efficiency of your heating system by removing blockages and build-ups that hinder water flow and heat transfer.
  • Enhanced Performance: By cleaning out the debris, powerflushing ensures that radiators heat up evenly and more quickly, improving the overall performance of your heating system.
  • Extended Lifespan: Removing corrosive elements from the system can prevent damage to components such as the boiler, pipes, and radiators, thereby extending their lifespan.
  • Reduced Energy Bills: A clean heating system operates more efficiently, which can lead to lower energy consumption and reduced heating bills.
  • Prevents Breakdowns: Regular powerflushing can help prevent breakdowns and costly repairs by maintaining the system in good working order.
  • Improved Water Quality: Powerflushing helps improve the quality of water circulating in the heating system, which can further enhance the system’s performance and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of the power flushing service will depend on the size and number of radiators in your home, contact us for a no obligation quote.

The powerflushing process typically involves the following steps:

  • Connecting a powerflushing machine to the central heating system.
  • Adding a chemical cleaning agent to the system.
  • Circulating the cleaning solution at high velocity but low pressure to avoid damaging the system.
  • Flushing out the dislodged debris and sludge.
  • Rinsing the system to remove any remaining cleaning agents.
  • Adding a corrosion inhibitor to protect the system from future build-ups.

There are several signs that may indicate your central heating system could benefit from a powerflush:

Cold Spots on Radiators: If your radiators have cold spots, particularly at the bottom, it may be due to sludge or debris buildup preventing proper water circulation.

Noisy Boiler and Radiators: Unusual noises such as banging, clanging, or gurgling from your boiler or radiators can indicate blockages or trapped air caused by sludge.

Slow Heating: If your radiators take a long time to heat up or do not get as hot as they should, it could be due to restricted water flow from debris buildup.

Frequent Boiler Lockouts: A boiler that frequently shuts down or needs resetting may be suffering from circulation issues caused by sludge or scale.

Dirty System Water: If the water drained from your heating system during maintenance is discoloured (usually brown or black), it suggests the presence of rust and sludge.

Reduced Efficiency: Increased heating bills or reduced overall efficiency of your heating system can be a sign of internal blockages hindering performance.

Radiator Leaks: Corrosion caused by sludge can lead to small leaks in radiators, which may be a sign that a powerflush is needed to clean the system.

Boiler Overheating: An overheating boiler can result from restricted water flow due to internal blockages, leading to inefficient operation and potential damage.

If you notice any of these signs, it may be beneficial to consult APG Domestic Services to assess your system. We can determine if a powerflush is necessary and provide professional services to restore your central heating system's efficiency and performance.
