System Flushing
Avenue Heating System Flush will improve your central heating system, help you use less energy and keep you warm at home.
System Flush
Power Flushing flushes your central heating system using a three-pronged process of combining the use of chemicals, heat and agitation to dislodge, move and extract out the sludge and dirty water that is inside your central heating system.
The method that we normally carry out doesn’t use the “traditional” method of power flushing a central heating system, which can cause old pipes to leak due to high pressure being pumped into the central heating system.
As a proud accredited company for Adey Magnaclense, we are able to offer a one-off cleanse, using the most up-to-date technology to ensure your radiators heat up correctly. This process helps to prolong the life-expectancy of the whole of your central heating system, keeps your heating bills down and reduces the risk of breakdowns.
Everything you need to know about getting a System Flush
Watch our short video to learn more about our Avenue Heating System Flush, how it works and why getting one might help improve the performance of your central heating system.
Why you may need a System Flush
A Powerflush helps deal with heating problems that you can’t always see.
Reduced Efficiency
Sludge, rust and limescale causes leaks and blocked pipes. Dirty water in your pipes causes heating problems and reduces efficiency.
Cold spots on your radiator
Sludge build-up causes cold spots in your radiators. This means they have to work harder to heat a room and you waste more energy.
Boiler Breakdowns
A clogged boiler and pump causes breakdowns. 87% of boiler breakdowns are due to dirty water in your heating system.
Save energy, save money
What are the benefits to having a central heating power flush?
- Heats your home faster
- Uses less energy to heat
- Protects your boiler
- Prolongs the life of your system
- Saves money on gas and repairs
- More efficient heating system
How does a System Flush work?
Before a Power Flush
The sludge in your radiators creates cold spots so the heat can’t flow around them effectively.
During a Power Flush
We’ll use a machine and three-step chemical process to thoroughly clean out your boiler, pipes and radiators, and replace dirty sludge with clean water.
Boiler Breakdowns
After the System Flush has removed sludge from your pipes, radiators and boiler, your system should work much better.
Future Protecting your Central Heating
When boilers and heating systems are power flushed, they are restored to their usual level of efficiency. If your system is clogged up with sludge and dirt over time, it cannot perform to its maximum potential to heat your home. A heating system clean provides your home with many benefits and savings.
Once your heating system has had power flushing, it’s crucial that it remains like this to avoid additional expenses in the future. Inhibitors are added as part of every flush, but can dilute overtime as a result of small leaks or refilling radiators.
To determine whether power flushing is the right solution for you, our professional heating engineers are happy to talk to you about the process with you, examine the system and suggest the best way forward.
System Sludge!
A by-product of the chemical reaction between metals and liquids is sludge. As this deposit builds up in the bottom of radiators, as the water flows around it, it slowly causes cold spots on radiators and blocks piping.
Your heater’s boiler and pump are put under stress when this occurs by restricting the flow of circulating water. As a result, it is less effective, less efficient, and will not last as long.
By having central heating power flushing you can clear the sludge built up in your system over time.

It is recommended that you should have your heating system flushed every four to five years.When you have a new boiler installed, depending on the water quality of your system, it may be necessary to carry out a full flush at that point.
The time it takes to flush a system depends largely on the size of the property and how blocked or dirty the system is. The larger the system and the more sludge there is, the longer it will take. We take pride in the quality of our work and will flush your system for as long is required to clean the system and will work on each individual radiator to specifically ensure each one is clear of blockages.
To give an indication, a property with a system consisting of fifteen radiators will take a whole day to complete.
It is advised that your flush is carried out by a qualified professional. All of our engineers are fully qualified and take part in ongoing manufacturer training to ensure that their skills and knowledge are always up to highest of standards.
The cost of a flush of your heating system varies and is individually quoted to reflect your home’s unique system composition.
