Central Heating Flushing is one of the plumbing services we provide at Plumb 24 Seven. This involves flushing a special solution through your entire central heating system in order to dissolve and clean away sludge, detritus and other blockages which might be causing your central heating to run less efficiently.
Why Does My Central Heating Need Flushing?
Central heating systems are mostly closed systems filled with water which is heated up and pumped round in a constant loop. Over time, tiny particles of corrosion can build up and break off from your metal radiators and pipes, which, as well as dirt and other contaminants in the system flows around with the water.
At pinch points and corners, these particles can then accumulate, normally towards the lowest points of the system and if there’s enough of a build up, blockages can form which restrict or even stop the flow of water.
These blockages result in your central heating system working harder and working far less efficiently. If your central heating system is more than a few years old, if you’ve noticed cold spots on your radiators or if you feel like your house doesn’t get as warm as it used to, then you could well benefit from our central heating flushing service.
How Much Does It Cost To Flush My Central Heating System?
Everyone’s house is different, but as a rough guide to give you an idea, flushing your central heating costs around £350. Factors affecting the price include the size of your home, the age of your central heating and the level of contamination. All of which dictate how long the job will take.
An efficiently running central heating system, with free flowing hot water will leave you with a much warmer home as well as a lower heating bill. Not to mention extending the life of the system itself, allowing you to avoid costly repairs or being left in the cold when the weather turns chilly!
