Why Replace

Is It Time for a Power Flush?

Over time, central heating systems build up debris, rust, and sludge that reduce performance and drive up energy bills. If your radiators have cold spots, take ages to heat up, or your boiler is noisier than it used to be, a power flush can restore your system to full working order.

Reduce Your Energy Bills

A new A-rated boiler can be up to 30% more efficient than a 10-year-old model, cutting your annual heating costs significantly.

Improved Safety

Older boilers carry a higher risk of carbon monoxide leaks and fire hazards. A new boiler eliminates these risks and comes with full safety certification.

Stop Paying for Repairs

Accumulated repair costs on an ageing boiler often exceed the cost of a new installation. A new boiler gives you reliability and a manufacturer guarantee.

Reliable Hot Water Year-Round

Modern boilers deliver consistent hot water and heating on demand, without the risk of unexpected breakdowns at the worst possible time.

What is power flushing?

Power flushing is a technique used to clean boilers and heating systems. This service can often solve issues like blockages in your home’s heating system and removes any debris that has built up over time.

How often do you need to power flush?

Power flushing should usually be done once every 5 years. A gas-safe certified engineer will be able to advise on whether or not your heating system requires a power flush.

What happens during a power flush?

The purpose of a power flush is to cleanse pipes of any debris that may be causing pipe blockages. A combination of water and other cleaning agents is injected into the heating system at a high velocity but low pressure to prevent any damage.

How long does power flushing take?

If your boiler or heating system requires a power flush, you will need to set aside a full day for the service to take place. Overall the process takes around 8 hours to complete. Ensure you only employ a gas-safe registered engineer to perform the power flush.
