Powerflushing is the process of cleaning the inside of your central heating system utilizing the movement of fast flowing water and additional cleaning chemicals. To achieve this, a high powered pump is attached to the system and along with the chemicals, the water is forced round the system to loosen debris from the inside of the system and remove it. Most powerflushes take around 6 hours, some are shorter and a few can take over 8 hours. When done correctly your system should run more efficiently by getting hotter quicker.

Power flushing is a machine with a high powered pump which circulates water around a heating system. A chemical cleaner is added to the machine, which then pumps around the system. This then pumps around the system cleaning out all the blockages, debris and sludge. Once the system is cleaned a system inhibitor/protector is added to the system. The benefits are your radiators will become hotter, longer lasting pump and your boiler lasts longer and it’s more efficient boiler.
