pOWER fLUSHING and re-fill with inhibitor. An introduction.
Radiators rust internally producing black iron oxide ‘sludge’. This sludge moves around the heating system blocking pipes, valves and boilers (pumps/heat exchangers/diverter valves).
A flush and re-fill is a great way to clean your central heating system. It’s an easy job that can help protect your home’s radiators and boiler, make your central heating more energy efficient and prevent breakdowns.
The Helpful plumber can flush the central heating system to remove the sludge and particles that build up in the radiators and pipe work and this can increase your heating efficiency by 15%. We then add an inhibitor which will keep the system rust and sludge free for the next 5 years.
When you get a new condensing gas boiler there is a risk that your domestic hot water system will be at risk for corrosion.
The problem occurs when the heat exchanger in the boiler mixes with your circulating water and deposits scale on the surface of your pipes.
To avoid this happening to you, it’s important that you flush out any scale deposits from your system before refilling with inhibitor.
The importance of a clean central heating system
When allowed to remain un-maintained, central heating systems can become extremely inefficient and expensive to function. Heating bills may increase, because the central heating system becomes blocked because of the buildup of debris brought on by consistent use, this is where our power flushing Redditch service is required.
It is important to clean your central heating system regularly. A clean system can help prevent leaks, blockages and corrosion. It also helps prevent overheating.

Why is a flush needed?
Throughout Redditch and surrounding areas there are lots of homes with central heating systems as well as badly working radiators which have turned out to be expensive to operate. It is because next to nothing has been done to minimize problems caused by the buildup of gunge deposits inside the system itself.
The central heating system may become loud since it attempts to make amends for its own inefficient operation. The easiest way to take care of this is to have the system ‘power flushed’ by an expert using specific apparatus in order to properly cleanse the complete system.
- To remove any dirt, debris and scale

It can help protect your home’s radiators and boiler, make your central heating more energy efficient and prevent breakdowns.
Maintaining your heating system is vital to avoid breakdowns, reduce energy bills and stay warm.
