Heating System Upgrades
So, you’ve decided the time has come to finally replace your old boiler and give a much-needed upgrade to your heating system. The next question is, should I overhaul the whole central heating system and replace my radiators too, while I’m at it? If you’ve decided to buy a new boiler and upgrade your heating system, it would make sense to consider replacing your radiators at the same time as it would mean less disruption and cost than replacing them both separately. Did you know modern radiators can be up to 50% more efficient than those sold in 2000? This increase in efficiency leads to a decrease in energy bills, meaning that your new radiators will eventually pay for themselves. Over time the metal pipes and radiators in your heating system can rust, this rust is collected by the water running through your system and returned to the boiler where it can collect. This collection of debris is called ‘sludge’ and it’s a good reason to replace old radiators. Sludge can build up in old radiators and stop them from heating to full capacity. Powerflushing can sometimes remove sludge build-up and restore efficiency.
