Understanding the Sludge Monster: Why Central Heating Systems Need Flushing

Over time, central heating systems accumulate sludge, rust, and other debris. This buildup restricts water flow, reduces heat transfer efficiency, and puts extra strain on your boiler and pump. Think of it like cholesterol in your arteries – it gradually clogs everything up! Power flushing is the process of forcibly circulating a powerful cleaning solution through your entire system to dislodge and remove these deposits.
