What is power flushing?

Even if you have had a central heating system for a number of years, and you need to replace your boiler, you may not need to replace all or indeed any of your radiators. However, in order to comply with part L of building regulations, when installing a new boiler into an old system, it is now essential that a ‘power flush’ is carried out on your radiators and pipe work.

This power flush, or ‘jet flush’ as it is sometimes known, involves pushing a high pressure jet of water through your central heating system. The result is that it clears out the build up of limescale and grime that can accumulate out of sight on the inside of your radiators. This will increase the heat that you receive from your radiators without the cost or mess of replacing them.

Power flushing your system will ensure a longer life for your new boiler, whilst reducing cold spots in radiators and therefore, increasing efficiency.
