Central Heating & Powerflushing

We of course install and maintain central heating systems, this is the water and space heating ie. the radiators, the hot/cold water storage tanks and cylinders, the feed and expansion tank, controls, pumps,valves and wiring. The key to getting the best performance and energy efficiency from a new heating system is ensuring you have the correct heat output from a given boiler, the best design of the central heating system for the property, the radiators correctly sized, the most suitable water capacity for any hot water cylinder and ensure the most suitable and sophisticated of controls are incorporated. This may sometimes conflict with a perceived budget of some customers but the better the quality of any components, controls, and the central heating system being properly maintained, the more overall efficiency and cost saving will be achieved over the lifetime of the system. Like anything in life. If for instance  you purchased a new car, you may choose a cheap and cheerful model or you may opt for a luxurious more sophisticated model which delivers outstanding performance. The same applies to new boilers and central heating systems. Whatever your choice or budget we can tailor the design to suite your requirements.

We can usually do all of this for approximatley 40% less than British Gas whilst maintaining the highest specifications.

As well as the boiler being serviced every 12 months as it should be to ensure gas safety, it is equally important to maintain the central heating system.

Cleaning the F&E tank, flushing the radiators, renewing the system inhibitors, all of this will ensure your system is kept in the best possible condition and will ensure maximum efficiency and cost savings.

NB. If you have an unvented hot water system, (mains pressure), then it is essential that the system is serviced every 12 months. This should not be ignored.

Power flushing (In the Manchester Area)

Is a process by which heating systems are forcibly cleansed using water at high velocity, but low pressure, so that no physical damage is caused to the system. The process can be made even more effective with the addition of powerful cleansing and mobilising agents such as Fx2 and Hyper-Fush from Kamco.
The objective is to restore systems with circulation and boiler noise problems (caused by sludge and corrosion deposits) to optimum operation. Power flushing removes these deposits and the problems that they cause.

It is prudent and strongly advised by manufacturers to power flush a heating system immediately before fitting a new boiler to an existing system to prevent possible future problems. Many systems are found to contain corrosion and sludge, even if no flow problems have yet shown themselves. Existing debris is often mobilised by alterations to the system / piping and the increased efficiency of the new boiler, and may then accumulate in the boiler heat exchanger, causing noisy operation, reduced efficiency and in extreme circumstances, failure of the boiler. The high efficiency and compactness of modern boilers developed to minimise fuel costs and pollution means that they are more susceptible to problems caused by debris in the system water.

How does it work

The power flushing pump is simply connected into the heating system, either across standard circulator pump couplings , across the tails of one radiator or wherever most practicable. The powerful flow, combined with instantaneous flow reverser device will dislodge and mobilise deposits and corrosion which resist traditional system cleaning methods. Once the corrosion and sludge deposits have been loosened and mobilised, fresh clean water is forced through the heating system pushing the contaminated water out through a full bore dump valve to waste. During the process the radiators are individually flushed, without removing or disconnecting them from the system, by directing the full output of the pump through each radiator separately. At the end of the flushing process the system contains fresh clean water and reinstatement of the system to normal operation takes only a few minutes.

Why might I need a Power Flush?

• If I get black water from bleeding the radiators.
• If the bottom or bottom half of my radiators are cold or colder than the top half.
• If the top half of the radiators get cold due to gas emissions caused by sludge deterioration.
• If the boiler is noisey and or making clunking or kettling sounds.
• If the hot water is not heating up properly.

A power flush can eliminate all of these kinds of problems, restoring your heating system to optimum performance / efficiency and can save you plenty of money on your heating costs. We have carried out hundreds of Powerflushing jobs in Stockport, Manchester and Tameside over the years and are very experienced in this field.
