Usually radiators and the whole central heating system rust internally over time which produces black iron oxide “sludge”. This sludge moves around all pipes, valves and boilers and blocks the flow. This problem can be resolved by power flushing your central heating system.

How is power flushing done?

If you are based in Hendon are are looking for a plumber in Hendon please call us and we can help you with this. We also work in and around the London area.

Normally the power flushing equipment is set up outside the building which is then connected to the central heating system which cleans all the radiators without having to remove them. A powerflush cleaner is added to the water which is used to clean and remove the rust in the radiators and pipes. The heating is turned on and the radiators are checked for any cold spots and these are power flushed again until the rust within is loosened and removed. The sludge is extracted and collected at our magnet filter.

We would flush all radiators and pipe until they are clean and will then issue a powerflush certificate.

Benefits of doing a power flush:

1. Warmer home
2. Increased efficiency
3. Improved hot water
4. Reduce in fuel bills

What is a combi boiler and should I go for it?

More than half of the boilers which are installed in Britain are combi boilers. These boilers combine and that is why they are called “Combi”. They combine a highly efficient water heater and a central heating boiler.

Hot water for domestic purposes is produced directly from the boiler. The water enters the boiler as cold or warm and leaves the boiler as hot directly to the tap.

The central heating system works by using the hot water circulated by the boiler to the radiators via a sealed circuit. However the domestic water is given priority, so when a tap is used the boiler gives priority to the hot water tap and then to the central heating.

The greatest advantage of a combi boiler is that there is no need for storage tanks or cylinders which can take up valuable space at home. Combi boilers are not the ideal solution for larger homes because they cannot cope with many hot water outlets. For bigger houses it is better to use a regular boiler.

What is a regular boiler?

A regular boiler supplies the central heating system  directly with the water to the radiators and back again. The water for the taps is heated indirectly in the hot water cylinder by using a coiled heat exchanger.

The primary system is supported by an expansion tank with an overflow. The secondary system for hot water is topped up by the cold water cistern in the loft. This is used by most homes in the UK.
