How does the power flush work?
A power flush works by connecting a specialist power flush machine to your existing system – usually at the boiler, pump, or circulation pump. This high-powered unit then pumps a mixture of high-pressure water and powerful cleaning chemicals through your whole central heating system, including radiators, pipework, and the boiler itself. The process loosens and removes any build up of sludge, rust, limescale, and other debris that has accumulated over time, which is one of the main causes of poor circulation, noisy boilers, and cold spots in radiators.
Each radiator is individually isolated and flushed, ensuring a deep and thorough clean with minimal disruption to your home. As the dirty water is removed, it’s replaced with clean water and a chemical inhibitor is added at the end of the process. This chemical helps protect the system from future build-up, prolonging the life of your existing system and boosting energy efficiency.
By thoroughly cleaning the system, a power flush helps your radiators heat up faster and more evenly, reducing strain on your boiler and lowering your energy bills. It also significantly reduces the risk of boiler breakdowns, which are often caused by blockages or corrosion.
How long does it take to do a power flush?
The time it takes to complete a power flush can vary depending on the size of your property and how blocked your system is. In most cases, a standard domestic power flush takes between 6 to 10 hours, so it’s usually completed within a single day. Larger homes or heavily contaminated systems may take longer to flush effectively.
Our experienced engineers will begin by assessing your system and tailoring the flush to your home’s specific requirements. The goal is to ensure that every component of your central heating system is running as efficiently as possible by the end of the day – all with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Why is power flushing especially important in Essex and London?
Homes in Essex and London are particularly susceptible to heating system issues due to the hard water found in this region. Hard water contains higher levels of calcium and magnesium, which leads to limescale build-up inside your boiler and radiators. Over time, this scale combines with rust and magnetite to form thick sludge that reduces energy efficiency, causes poor circulation, and contributes to boiler breakdowns.
A regular power flush is especially beneficial for properties in areas with hard water, as it helps remove this harmful build-up and maintain the long-term health of your whole central heating system. It also helps ensure your home stays warm during the colder months, with your system working efficiently and reliably year-round.
