Heating System Power Flush

When sludge builds up in your radiators, it can greatly affect how they heat your rooms. Caused by the gradual corrosion of water on the metal parts of your central heating system over many years, this sludge or ‘magnetite’ reduces the amount of heat transferred from your radiators. Magnetite tends to settle within radiators where the flow rate is lower. In turn, your boiler must work longer and harder for a radiator to reach the temperature on your thermostat.

A system power flush clears this sludge away, helping to restore the efficiency of your radiators so you can save on your energy bills.

  • Another great experience from Aspect. Joe helped to solve my radiator issue. He took the time to explain how to troubleshoot any issues in the future and checked everything several times to make sure it was all working well following his work. Highly recommend.

How does power flushing work?

A power flushing machine pumps clean water and a special cleaning solution through your central heating system to remove the dirt, scale and sludge inside. To start, we connect the machine to the pipework, flush for at least 2 hours and then remove the dirty water.

We then flush each radiator individually for around 30 minutes, before flushing the whole system at once until it’s clean – removing the magnetite that’s known for blocking radiator heat transfer. We’ll then vent and test the system. The process usually takes a full day, depending on the size and type of heating system you own.

Your engineer completes the system power flush by adding the correct amount of inhibitor that helps reduce corrosion in the future. We can also perform a chemical flush at a later date (done by simply running the boiler to let the chemicals circulate), which is a good way to keep your system clean a year or more after power flushing.
