There are several plumbing and heating terms that may be alien to home-onwers, even though they may refer to services that are beneficial to them.
Take powerflusing, for example, which should be carried out every five to 10 years and utilises high-strength cleaning chemicals to remove sludge, debris and contaminants from your heating system.
Make no mistake; your system will be restored to nearly-new condition after a power flush, and this should be music to the ears of all home-owners. Here are some of the precise benefits to keep in mind:
Advantages of a Powerflush
A Powerflush will Extend the Lifespan of Your Heating System
As sludge and debris accumulates in your heating system, you’ll find that the performance and efficiency of your boiler is compromised considerably.
A powerflush can correct this imbalance, however, as a clean and clear heating system will reduce the risk of corrosion and ensure that each individual component achieves optimal performance for longer.
In this respect, investing in a professional powerflush can dramatically increase the longevity of your boiler unit, creating a scenario where you save money on upgrading the unit in the future.
In total, it’s estimated that having regular powerflushes can up to 10 years to the lifespan of your boiler, making it a service that pays for itself over time!
A Powerflush Improves the Efficiency of your Boiler
We’ve already touched on the efficiency of your existing boiler, and there’s no doubt that a powerflush can improve this considerably.
In simple terms, your heating system is able to work with minimal effort once it has been cleansed of accumulated debris and dirt, negating the risk of tepid water and cold radiators going forward.
According to some estimates, powerflushing your central heating system can make it up to 40% more efficient, creating a scenario where it functions almost as well as a brand new boiler!
A Powerflush Can Reduce Your Energy Bills
As the efficiency of your boiler is improved, you’ll notice that your radiators and water supply heats far quicker.
This means that rooms can reach their optimal temperature far quicker, without requiring you to turn the thermostat on full!
As a result, you can consume less energy on a weekly and monthly basis, which will in turn reduce your annual bills and help you to save more of your hard-earned cash!
This will also reduce your carbon footprint as a home-owner, helping you to contribute to a greener and more sustainable environment.
