Is your heating system not as efficient as it used to be? Do you find that it takes longer to heat up your home or that it is costing you more to run your heating system? Are there cold spots in your underfloor heating or in your radiators? Have you recently had a new boiler installed?

Many people don’t know that along with regular maintenance and servicing of your boiler or heat pump, you also need to regularly service and maintain your heating system such as your radiators or underfloor heating.

Radiators and underfloor heating systems build up sludge, dirt and limescale over time which blocks the flow of hot water to these systems making them inefficient and causing them to corrode. This also puts pressure on your boiler or heat pump, making them work harder to get the same output and causes strain on your pumps, eventually stopping your heating system from operating.

The solution is to power flush your heating system by flushing radiators or underfloor heating. Power flushing cleans the entire heating system, removing any sludge or build up in the pipes and radiators. Once the system is flushed out and clean, an inhibitor is then put into your heating system which helps to prevent future blockages or build up.

How does power flushing work?

Firstly, your heating system is drained of all water. A cleaning chemical is then pumped into the heating system by using a power flushing machine. This power flushing machine pumps the cleaning chemical around the heating system at high velocity but low pressure, dislodging the sludge and cleaning all the pipes and radiators getting rid of the build-up of all the sludge and grime that builds up in your heating system over time. At TMG Plumbing and Heating Services, we also use an extra filtering system called a magnetic filter which removes all metal oxide particles in your heating system that can cause pin holes in your radiators and damage your boiler. See the video below to see how this works. The heating system is then refilled with an inhibitor which helps to prevent further build up in the future.

The Benefits of Power Flushing Your Heating System

Enhanced Heating Efficiency
Power flushing significantly boosts the efficiency of heating systems by removing sludge, rust, and debris. This allows pumps and boiler systems to circulate hot water without resistance, ensuring optimal performance.

Increased System Longevity
Power flushing reduces the workload on pumps and boilers, helping them circulate hot water more efficiently. This extends the lifespan of these components and minimizes the risk of breakdowns, which is especially important for large buildings.

Cost Savings
A clean heating system heats up faster and maintains the correct temperature more effectively. This results in lower energy bills and avoids costly repairs.

Radiators Before and After Power Flushing

Maximum Results with Minimal Disruption

Radiators and underfloor heating build up sludge, dirt and limescale over time which blocks the flow of hot water to these systems, making them inefficient and causes corrosion. CIP (Cleaning In Place) works with minimal disruption while preventing further blockages and build up, future proofing your heating system
