Over time, the insides of your radiator will begin to rust in a process call ‘Iron Oxide’. This is effectively a fancy way of saying that your radiators are corroding from the inside out. The amount of rust is relatively small (in comparison to the visual rust you may see on metals left outdoors in Scottish weather) but the rust build up can accumulate at the bottom of your radiator and over time, this build up can cause real issues for your homes central heating system. The rust takes up space in the radiator that would normally be used by hot water so instantly, your radiator is not producing as much heat as usual. This reduction in heat energy emissions means that your boiler has to run harder and for longer which then means you are spending more on your monthly gas bills. While many home owners will dismiss this as a ‘small inconvenience’, the real trouble of iron oxide is caused when it gets to your boiler. If you think of your boiler like a human heart and the iron oxide is the cholesterol. Over time, that build up of cholesterol while make your boiler heart have to work harder and harder until it has the equivalent of a heart attack. The sludge that forms from Iron Oxide rusting will reduce the heart produced from your boiler to heat the home and make your boiler work harder with more risk of breaking down.
If your radiator feels lukewarm to the touch even after the boiler has been running for a long time then you most likely have a build up of rusting Iron Oxide. If you can hear a banging or knocking sound from your boiler then this can be caused from poor circulation and overheating. And if your boiler begins to sporadically turn off then the problem needs to be addressed quickly.
Our central heating flushing service is a fairly straightforward two step process. 1) We remove all the sludge from your homes central heating system by flushing out each individual radiator in your home. We run a chemical cleaner to help aid this. 2) We add an inhibitor chemical to help protect the quality of the water in your heating system.
We can also add magnetic filter systems to help reduce the circulation of the Iron Oxide sludge in the future.
