Power Flushing in Poole, Bournemouth, and Dorset
A build-up of iron oxide (aka “sludge”), debris, or scale in your central heating system can have a serious impact on its performance. The water in your system will have to work harder to heat your home, leading to noisy operation and higher energy bills. It could even cause your system to break down completely!
Power flushing is the best way to clear your radiators of blockages and slow the damage internal corrosion can cause. It involves the use of a powerful pump to circulate specialised chemicals at high pressure through your system; these chemicals are then flushed out along with the dirty water. You should aim to have your central heating power flushed every 5 years or so, or if you notice any cold spots on your radiators.

How Do You Know if Your Heating System Needs to Be Power Flushed?
There are a few telltale signs that it’s time to get your heating system power flushed. Watch out for:
- Unexpectedly high heating bills
- Noisy radiators or a noisy airing cupboard!
- Slow heating performance or cold spots
- Radiators that need bleeding frequently
- Boiler that keeps bangs (kettles) or consistently cuts out due to overheating
Why Have Your Central Heating System Power Flushed?
A power flush will clear blockages out from your system, keeping it running smoothly and preventing any potential issues down the line. Both new and existing heating systems can benefit from it – here’s why!
Existing Heating Systems
As the years go by, sludge, debris, and rust can gradually build up in your system. Modifying your system or upgrading your boiler can also have an impact – the existing debris can get stirred up and shift around during these changes, which can be a problem if it ends up accumulating in the boiler’s heat exchanger.
New Heating Systems
When your heating system is being manufactured and installed, it’s common for debris like installation swarf and flux to find their way into the pipes. There’s also a chance that the greases and oils used by manufacturers to prevent rusting during shipping could start building up.

Power Flushing
FAQs
Power flushing is a cleaning process for central heating systems that involves using a high-flow, low-pressure pump to remove sludge, rust, and other debris that can accumulate over time. This buildup can hinder the efficiency of your heating system, leading to reduced heat output, higher energy bills, and even system breakdowns. Power flushing helps restore the system’s efficiency and prolong its lifespan.
Some common signs that your heating system may need power flushing include uneven heating in radiators, cold spots on radiators, strange noises coming from the boiler, and reduced heat output. If you notice any of these issues, it’s a good idea to consult a heating engineer who can assess your system and recommend power flushing if necessary.
Power flushing is safe for central heating systems when performed by trained and accredited specialists (like the team at Total Gas!). The process uses a chemical cleaner and a low-pressure flow of water to dislodge and remove debris, which should not cause any harm to the system’s components.
The duration of a power flushing service can vary depending on the size and condition of your heating system. On average, it typically takes a few hours to complete. However, for larger or more heavily contaminated systems, it may take longer. We can provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific circumstances when you get in touch.
Power flushing offers several benefits, including:
- Improved heating system efficiency, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower heating bills
- Faster heating and more even heat distribution throughout your home
- Prolonged lifespan of your boiler and radiators by preventing corrosion and damage
- Quieter operation of your heating system as trapped air and debris are removed
- Increased comfort and warmth in your home
- Overall, power flushing can help your heating system operate more effectively and efficiently, saving you money in the long run while ensuring your home stays warm and comfortable
