Power flushing is a process carried out by trained heating engineers to remove built-up sludge in the boiler, piping, and radiators of your central heating system. This is an important process that may be required as part of central heating servicing to improve the function and condition of your boiler and help avoid system breakdowns.
During a power flush, water is rapidly pumped through your central heating system via a pumping station to dislodge the sludge, rust and any other debris caught in the system. Once the dirty water and sludge have been removed from your heating system, clean water is then introduced to keep it running smoothly. When your heating engineer comes to your Blackburn or Darwen home, the whole process should take between 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours to complete.
