A power flush is essentially a deep clean of your heating system and can increase the lifespan and efficiency of your boiler, preventing costly repairs and giving you peace of mind. A power flush can be part of an annual boiler service or completed on its own. I am also qualified to complete MagnaCleansing, a newer approach to power flushing.

What Is Power Flushing?
Power Flushing involves clearing your central heating system, including your boilers and radiators, of unwanted sludge, grime and chemicals that can impact the effectiveness of your system. Water, and sometimes chemicals, are pumped through the system using a machine until the system runs clean. There may be signs that your system requires, or could benefit from, a power flush, such as:
-
Cold areas on radiators
-
Poor system circulation
-
Heating taking longer to work
-
Noisy boiler and heating systems
-
Discoloured water when bleeding radiators
-
Radiator leaks

What Is A MagnaCleanse?
A MagnacCleanse is a newer version of a power flush, with the added benefits of a permanent filter being placed in your system post cleanse. Similar to power flushing, the aim is to remove unwanted debris and flush the system until water runs clear; this is done using a magnetic unit. After the cleanse a permanent MagnaClean filter is added to your system which uses magnets to capture future rust and other magnetic debris, preventing future build up. This filter should last as long as your boiler.
