Power Flushing

If your radiators are cold at the bottom, your boiler is noisy, or your heating bills are rising, power flushing could be the solution. With over 30 years of experience, we use professional-grade equipment to remove sludge and debris that reduces your system's performance.

Power Flushing & System Cleaning

At Nunn Plumbing & Gas, we provide professional power flushing services to restore your heating system's performance and efficiency. Over time, central heating systems accumulate sludge, rust, and debris that reduce flow rates, cause cold spots on radiators, and maks your boiler work harder than necessary.

Our power flushing service uses high-velocity water flow combined with cleaning chemicals to remove these deposits, restoring proper circulation throughout your system. This process can dramatically improve heating performance and reduce energy consumption.


Chemical Power Flushing

Our comprehensive power flushing process removes years of accumulated debris from your heating system. The service includes:

  • System assessment and water quality testing
  • Professional power flushing equipment setup
  • Chemical cleaning agent application
  • High-velocity water circulation to remove debris
  • Individual radiator isolation and cleaning
  • System neutralisation and inhibitor dosing
  • Performance testing and verification

We use professional-grade chemicals and equipment designed specifically for central heating systems, ensuring effective cleaning without damage to system components. The process typically takes a full day depending on system size and contamination levels.


How To Know When You Need a Power Flush

Several signs indicate your heating system would benefit from power flushing:

  • Radiators cold at the bottom or with cold spots
  • Some radiators not heating up properly
  • Boiler making unusual noises
  • Slow heating up times
  • Frequent boiler pressure loss
  • Dark or discoloured water when bleeding radiators
  • High energy bills despite regular boiler servicing

We can assess your system and advise whether power flushing is appropriate. In some cases, older systems with severe corrosion may require component replacement rather than cleaning, and we'll provide honest advice about the most cost-effective solution.


FAQs

Common signs include radiators that are cold at the bottom, some radiators not heating properly, noisy boiler operation, or dark water when bleeding radiators. If your heating takes longer to warm up than it used to, or your energy bills have increased without obvious cause, these could also indicate sludge buildup requiring power flushing.
Power flushing typically takes a full day, depending on the size of your system and level of contamination. The process involves connecting specialist equipment, adding cleaning chemicals, flushing each radiator individually, and finally adding system inhibitor. We'll need access to your heating system throughout the day and will test everything is working properly before we finish.
When carried out by experienced professionals using proper equipment, power flushing is safe for heating systems. We assess system condition beforehand and use appropriate chemicals and pressures for your specific system type. However, very old systems with severe corrosion may have weakened components that could fail during cleaning, which is why proper assessment is essential.
Most systems don't need regular power flushing if properly maintained with system inhibitor and regular servicing. However, systems without inhibitor protection, those in hard water areas, or older systems may benefit from power flushing every 5-10 years. After power flushing, we add system inhibitor to help prevent future sludge buildup and maintain the benefits longer.
