Keep your central heating system running efficiently. From power flushing to radiator repairs, we maintain and restore heating system performance.
Your central heating system works hard to keep your home comfortable, but like any mechanical system, it requires regular maintenance and occasional repairs to perform reliably. At Boiler SOS, we provide comprehensive heating system servicing and repair services throughout Birmingham, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers have the expertise to diagnose and resolve all types of central heating problems, ensuring your system operates efficiently and reliably throughout the year.
Over time, central heating systems accumulate sludge, rust, and debris that restrict water flow, reduce efficiency, and cause component failures. Power flushing is a thorough cleansing process that restores your system to optimal condition.
What is Power Flushing?: Using specialist equipment, we circulate cleaning chemicals through your heating system at high velocity, dislodging and removing accumulated deposits. The process thoroughly cleans radiators, pipework, and the boiler, eliminating blockages and corrosion.
Benefits of Power Flushing: A power flush improves heating efficiency, reduces energy bills, eliminates cold spots on radiators, stops banging and gurgling noises, extends boiler lifespan, and prevents premature component failure. It's particularly important before installing a new boiler to protect your investment.
When You Need a Power Flush: Signs include radiators with cold areas, some radiators not heating whilst others work fine, noisy heating system, frequent boiler breakdowns, or slow heating response. If your system is over ten years old and has never been power flushed, it will almost certainly benefit.
Our Power Flushing Process: We connect professional power flushing equipment to your system, add cleaning chemicals, and circulate them through every radiator and pipe. We monitor the flush water until it runs clear, then add corrosion inhibitor to protect against future sludge buildup.
Heating system faults extend beyond just boiler problems. We repair all aspects of your central heating to restore proper operation.
Pump Repairs and Replacement: The circulation pump moves hot water around your system. When pumps fail or become noisy, we can repair or replace them to restore proper circulation.
Motorised Valve Problems: These valves direct hot water to radiators or hot water cylinder. Stuck or faulty valves prevent proper heating control. We diagnose electrical and mechanical valve faults and carry out effective repairs.
Expansion Vessel Issues: The expansion vessel accommodates water expansion as it heats. When vessels fail, systems lose pressure repeatedly. We test, recharge, or replace expansion vessels as needed.
Pressure Problems: Persistent pressure loss indicates leaks, faulty pressure relief valves, or expansion vessel problems. We trace and repair leaks, replace faulty components, and restore system pressure.
Zone Valve Repairs: Multi-zone systems use additional valves to control heating in different areas. We repair and replace zone valves to restore independent zone control.
Radiators can develop various problems affecting heating performance and efficiency.
Cold Spots: Areas of radiators remaining cold indicate sludge buildup or trapped air. We can bleed radiators, power flush the system, or balance flow to eliminate cold spots.
Leaking Radiators: Leaks from radiator valves, joints, or the radiator body require prompt attention. We identify leak sources and carry out effective repairs or recommend replacement where necessary.
Radiator Valve Problems: Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) can stick or fail. We repair or replace faulty valves to restore proper temperature control.
System Balancing: Unbalanced systems result in some radiators being too hot whilst others barely warm. We adjust lockshield valves to balance flow, ensuring even heat distribution throughout your home.
When heating problems occur, accurate diagnosis is essential. Our engineers use systematic testing procedures and diagnostic equipment to identify faults quickly, saving time and reducing costs.
We examine all system components, check controls and wiring, test pumps and valves, measure pressures and temperatures, and analyse system operation to pinpoint problems accurately. Our transparent approach means we explain findings clearly and discuss all repair options before proceeding.
Regular servicing prevents many heating system problems. Beyond annual boiler servicing, periodic system maintenance including checking pumps, valves, and pressures, testing controls, examining radiators, and adding corrosion inhibitor keeps your entire heating system reliable and efficient.
