What is a Power Flush?
Power flushing is a deep-cleaning process for your central heating system - boiler, pipes, and radiators. It uses high-velocity, low-pressure water and specialised chemicals to remove sludge, rust, and debris. This clears blockages, improves heat distribution, boosts efficiency, and extends the life of your boiler and radiators.
Signs You Might Need a Power Flush
Noisy boiler or pump
Slow heat-up time
Cold spots on radiators
Frequent boiler breakdowns
Radiators not heating evenly
Discoloured water when bleeding radiators
If you have any of the above signs, your system may need a power flush. It’s also a good idea to schedule in a power flush if you have a new boiler installed to ensure it’s in top working condition. It is recommended to power flush your heating system every 5 years.
Boiler manufacturers state you must have your system flushed and clean to validate the manufacturers boiler warranty. If you are paying for breakdown care on your boiler the company will ask for proof that your heating system is clean or that you have had it flushed, we can help you with this.

A power flush is effective for resolving issues caused by sludge, rust, and debris in your central heating system. It can help improve boiler performance if poor circulation or blockages are the root cause. However, it’s not a guaranteed fix for all boiler problems — in some cases, further diagnostics or repairs may be needed to fully restore your system.
How often should I power flush my heating system?
How often you need a power flush can vary, but it’s typically recommended every 5 to 6 years. This can depend on factors like local water quality and how frequently your heating system is used. If you’re installing a new boiler onto an older system, a power flush is also highly recommended to prevent future issues.

Yes, in fact, many manufacturers require a flush during boiler installation to validate your warranty. Keeping your system clean helps maintain warranty cover and reduces future repair costs.
