FAQs

How to check if the system needs a powerflush?

Quite a simple task. Here are things you need to confirm if your system needs a powerflush:

  • Feel the top and bottom of your radiator if there’s a temperature difference.
  • Analyze if the water level is regular.
  • Consult a qualified engineer to check the boiler’s efficiency (Serviceteam also offers this service).

If the top of the radiator is hotter than the bottom, the water level is lesser than usual, or if the boiler isn’t as efficient as its meant to be, call us straight away. 

How long does the Powerflush process take? 

Usually up to 8-hours. However, you can go for a magnacleanse powerflush that will last up to just two hours, costing you a bit extra. Moreover, it also depends upon the number of radiators installed in your household.

How often does a system need powerflush?

Well, it depends upon the system’s condition. If you have a newly installed heating system in your household that works perfectly, there’s no need for a powerflush. However, an old system is usually vulnerable to such issues and needs a powerflush job every 5 to 6 years. 

Is it necessary to have a powerflush before boiler installment? 

Yes, of extreme importance since the manufacturers guarantee the boilers mainly on clean systems. Make sure you run cleansing chemicals just when you install a new boiler. It will keep the system working properly for several years, guaranteed.
