Power Flushing in Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian, West Lothian & The Borders
Expert Gas Safe Power Flushing in Edinburgh, The Lothians & The Borders.
Expert Power Flushing Services
If your radiators feel cold in places, your heating takes too long to warm up, or your boiler seems to be working harder than it should, there is a strong chance your heating system is suffering from sludge build up. Over time, central heating systems naturally collect rust, debris and magnetite. This contamination circulates through the pipes and radiators and slowly reduces performance.
At Heat Tech Scotland, we provide professional power flushing services across Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian, West Lothian and the Scottish Borders, restoring heating systems back to proper working condition. Our Gas Safe registered engineers use specialist equipment to safely remove years of built up sludge and debris, helping your system run more efficiently and reliably.
We carry out every power flush using the high performance Kamco CF90 machine. This is one of the most powerful and effective flushing systems available for domestic heating systems and allows us to properly clean even heavily contaminated systems.

Manufacturers often recommend flushing the system when installing a new boiler to prevent contamination from the old system damaging the new appliance.
Our Power Flushing Process
A proper power flush takes time and attention to detail. Rushing the process means sludge and debris can remain in the system.
When Heat Tech Scotland carries out a power flushing service in Edinburgh or surrounding areas, we follow a careful process to ensure the system is properly cleaned.
Initial System Inspection: Before beginning the flush, our engineers assess the heating system to identify the cause of poor performance. Not every heating problem requires power flushing, and we always make sure it is the correct solution before recommending it.
Connecting the Flushing Equipment: The Kamco CF90 flushing machine is connected directly into the heating circuit to allow water and cleaning chemicals to circulate through the system.
Circulating Cleaning Chemicals: Specialist cleaning agents are introduced to break down magnetite, sludge and debris. These chemicals loosen the deposits that have built up inside the radiators and pipework.
Flushing Each Radiator Individually: Each radiator is cleaned separately using high flow forward and reverse circulation. This ensures sludge trapped in the system is fully removed rather than simply moved around the pipework.
Rinsing the System Thoroughly: Once the contamination has been loosened, the system is flushed repeatedly with clean water until the return water runs completely clear.
Adding Corrosion Protection: Finally, a corrosion inhibitor is added to protect the system from future rust build up and keep it running efficiently for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions - Power Flushing
Q1: How long does a power flush take? A: Most domestic power flushes take between four and eight hours depending on the size of the heating system and how contaminated it is. Larger or older systems can sometimes take longer.
Q2: Will power flushing fix cold radiators? A: In many cases yes. Cold spots on radiators are commonly caused by sludge settling inside them. Power flushing removes this debris and restores proper circulation.
Q3: Is power flushing always necessary? A: No. Sometimes heating problems are caused by simple issues such as air in the system or incorrect balancing. Our engineers will always diagnose the problem first before recommending a flush.
Q4: Do you recommend power flushing when installing a new boiler? A: Yes. Cleaning the system before connecting a new boiler helps prevent debris from damaging the new heat exchanger and improves long term reliability.
Q5: How often should a heating system be flushed? A: Most systems only require power flushing once in their lifetime unless severe contamination occurs again. Maintaining inhibitor levels helps prevent future sludge build up.
