Power flushing

What is power flushing

• When upgrading a traditional floor standing boiler to a new high efficiency unit it is imperative that a full power flush be carried out on the central heating system. ‘Power flushing’ is carried out by attaching a specially designed pumping system to the boiler and radiator pipe work and forcing cleansing chemicals around the radiators, pipework and boiler
• This practice can be done as part of an upgrade, or can be carried out as a separate job on a existing system to improve the overall efficiency of an older system

Why power flushing is important

When installing a new gas boiler to an older existing central heating system, there is a risk that dirt which accumulated in the radiators over time, will damage the newly installed boiler.

Many boiler manufacturers may not honour their guarantee, if dirty water is found to be present in the heating system.

Therefore when investing in the installlation of a new boiler, it is imperative to cary out power flushing.
