Whether you need your boiler replacing or a full new central heating system fitted, we will work hard to find the right solution to meet your needs. Remember, our aim is to find the right heating system for you and your property.
Modern condensing boilers improve efficiency to over 90% which could save you a minimum of 30% per year on your home heating bills, which represents a big saving over the lifetime of your boiler.
It is prudent 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.
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. System flushing will not remedy design or mechanical faults, which should be rectified, but in many cases it will cure the problems caused by these.
What’s the difference between a descaling pump and a power flushing pump? Can I use a descaling pump for power flushing?
Most smaller descaling pumps are not powerful enough to effectively flush a central heating system. They don’t have the vital flow rate or the pressure needed to maintain flow against the resistance of the heating system.
Power flushing pumps have not only been constructed to purge the system with fresh water whilst dumping the contaminated water, but are also supplied with flow and return hoses, dump and water inlet hoses, valves to isolate them from the system, adapters to speed connection into a system and a significantly higher performance rating.
They have a higher temperature rating, a starter pack of chemicals and a training package to ensure that you get the best from your investment.
