Protecting your heating system
When you are having a heating system installed a new boiler put on your old system, having noise or your radiators are not getting hot enough, it is very important to make sure the system is cleaned and treated correctly.
as in the case of limescale if your boiler fails due to sludge this will not be covered under the boiler warranty. not only this but it will cost you efficacy and damage your boiler. worse case it could cause a blockage in the boiler or heating system, this could then be costly and timely to resolve.
There is a wide range of products available for treating and maintaining your boiler and system. when the boiler is first fitted you will need boiler and system flushing with a cleanser and then treated with an inhibitor. we here at The Heating Gurus highly recommend Fernox, they have an extensive range of chemicals and filters to give full protection to your heating and hot water systems.
THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULARLY TESTING CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS
When it comes to maintaining the health of the central heating system, regular testing to check the levels of inhibitor is key. Here, we explain why and look at some of the handy products that you can use to ease and speed up the testing process.
A central heating system is full of metal components and when water comes into contact with them, it can lead to corrosion. If left untreated, limescale, sludge and other corrosion debris will build-up over time and can circulate within the system to lodge in pipework and vulnerable system components, causing blockages. This forces the system to work harder and results in a sluggish, inefficient performance – as well as higher fuel bills for the customer and increased carbon emissions. It can even cause system breakdown.
To prevent this from happening, simply dose the system with any of the following high-quality
corrosion inhibitors:
