A Powerflush is a cleansing process which aims to remove deposits of sludge, rust and any other debris from your central heating system. As the name suggests, powerflushing is done at high pressure and can remove sludge from central heating system, especially older systems. Sludge in your heating system can cause blockages and corrosion which can lead to both inefficiency and/or breakdown. In extreme cases it can be so damaging that a complete boiler replacement is needed. The engineers at Contract Heating are trained and experienced when it comes to situations where the best solution is to Powerflush the central heating system.

While there are Powerflushing kits for hire, it’s a complicated job. A professional will make a Powerflush look easy, clean and safe but the reality is it’s a job that has the potential to get very messy. Specialist chemicals and equipment are required and should only be handled by those trained to do so. It’s also possible that carrying out the work on your heating system by yourself may invalidate any manufacturer’s warranty you have.
