central heating cleaning
Heating system cleaning and flushing.
Heating systems rust and corrode. This leads to a build up of a black sludge called magnetite which essentially blocks your radiators and boilers heat exchanger, which in turn forces your boiler/heat pump to work harder and for longer.
A dirty system is a costly system.
This can cause all sorts of problems for your boiler and has been known to doom a boiler to an early grave if there is no filter in place.
Magnetic filter installation is standard on all our installations to help prevent this.
A full system clean is an in depth process of draining all the water from the system, adding a new filter into the existing pipework where possible and begin cleaning the entire installation.
We then add a cleaning agent into the pipework, refill and heat the system to circulate the cleaner.
Whilst this is circulating we use an agitator to essentially hammer the radiators and loosen the debris build up.
As the debris is loosened by agitation, heat and cleaning agent it is circulated throughout the system, removed from your radiators and eventually caught within the filter.
Voila, we clean the filters, disconnect our cleaning equipment and you end up with a more efficient and effective heating installation.
Which is now also less expensive to run.
