Power Flushing
Specialising in power flushing in Lincoln
How a Power Flush Works:
A power flushing unit is essential for your central heating system. It blasts water at high speed to clear away sludge, rust, and debris that build up over time. This cleaning process directly improves your boiler’s performance and the heating system’s efficiency and lifespan.
For example, a well-maintained system can cut energy bills by up to 15% and extend the boiler’s life by several years. Also, regular power flushing can help avoid costly breakdowns, keeping your heat and hot water running during winter. By removing blockages and corrosion, power flushing helps your system run smoothly and reliably.
When Having a New Boiler Installed
Power Flush v.s Chemical Flush
A power flush is a deep cleaning method. It uses a pump to create strong turbulence. This action cleans all parts of the central heating system, like pipes, radiators, and valves. It removes built-up rust, grime, and corrosion that can harm efficiency and lifespan.
During the process, special cleaning chemicals flow through the system. They break down deposits so they can be safely flushed away. The pump is key for creating the right agitation.
However, you can still flush the chemicals without the pump, though it’s less effective. In this approach, gravity and natural circulation move the chemicals, but at a slower pace. This method might work for less severe cases of system fouling.
