Central heating is something we rely on every day, especially in colder months, but few people think about the maintenance required to keep it running efficiently. If you use a boiler and steel radiators to heat your home, you should be aware of the long-term effects of corrosion and sludge buildup inside your system. Without proper care, these issues can lead to leaks, reduced heating efficiency, and even complete system failure.
Many people don’t realise that their central heating system needs servicing until something goes wrong. However, prevention is always better than cure. I recommend having a professional inspect your heating system every five years to check for early signs of wear and prevent costly repairs down the line.
The main cause of damage to radiators is rust. Water contains oxygen, which naturally reacts with metal to cause corrosion. If left unchecked, this can lead to serious problems. Plumbers add a chemical inhibitor to the system to reduce rust formation, but every time you refill your boiler with fresh water, you dilute the inhibitor, making your radiators more vulnerable to rust. Over time, this rust forms a thick sludge inside your heating system, blocking pipes and radiators. When this happens, your heating system will work harder to compensate, reducing its efficiency and increasing your energy bills.
Once sludge builds up, a power flush is the only way to clean your system thoroughly. This process involves using specialist equipment to remove debris and rust deposits from the pipes and radiators. It’s an essential procedure when heating systems are badly clogged, but it can be costly. That’s why regular maintenance is so important.
If you’ve noticed cold spots on your radiators, loss of boiler pressure, or poor heating performance, it might be time for a check-up. Whether you need a routine inspection, a power flush, or an upgrade to your radiators, I’m here to help!
