Have you ever wondered what power flushing is? Power flushing is a process in which water, air and chemicals are pumped through the system. This cleans out any debris that may have accumulated over time, increasing efficiency and lifespan of your boiler or heating system.
The first step to power-flushing is to turn off the gas supply at the meter. The gas supply is turned back on once the power-flush process has been completed.
There are many benefits to power-flushing. For one, it helps prevent limescale build up in the system and reduces energy consumption because there is less need for maintenance. Secondly, it will prolong the lifespan of your boiler or heating system by clearing away old waste, rust and dirt. Finally, as water circulates through pipes at a much higher speed than usual, this can help remove deposits caused by hard water.
How Long Does A Power Flush Take?
Power flushing doesn’t usually take a long time to complete and is very cost effective when compared with replacing old boilers or central heating systems which could take days or weeks before installation begins due to waiting times from suppliers. In addition, power flushing can be done during winter months when you need your heating system to be fully working to keep your property warm.
There are various symptoms to look out for which could indicate that your heating system is not working as efficiently as it should be. If a boiler or central heating system starts making strange sounds, this can often be due to the build up of sludge on the inside and something needs to be done before there’s any further damage.
It’s always best to get professional advice from an expert if you start seeing signs that point towards needing power flushing so they can provide their expertise in identifying problems early on which will save time and money in future. In conclusion, with regular maintenance such as power flushing, boilers and central heating systems are more likely to work at optimum efficiency for longer periods of time – saving huge amounts of money by replacing them unnecessarily.
A powerflush is recommended when an old boiler system needs to be replaced with a new one. There are different levels of powerflushing, so it’s best to speak with a professional engineer before committing. It is a job that is best left for a qualified heating engineer to carry out especially if your boiler needs to be opened up and if an examination of other faults needs doing.
