During the summer months, many homeowners in Farnham, Surrey, and Hampshire turn their attention away from their heating systems. But at Forte Heating Services, we believe summer is the perfect time to prepare your heating for the colder months ahead—and one of the best ways to do that is with professional power flushing services.
What is Power Flushing?
Power flushing is a deep clean of your central heating system. Over time, sludge, rust, and debris can build up in your pipes and radiators, causing blockages and reducing the efficiency of your heating. A power flush involves circulating high-strength cleaning chemicals through your system using specialist equipment, effectively removing built-up grime and restoring optimal flow.
Signs You May Need a Power Flush
There are several tell-tale signs that your system could benefit from a power flush:
- Cold spots on radiators
- Radiators slow to heat up
- Noisy boiler or pipes
- Discoloured water when bleeding radiators
- Frequent need to bleed radiators
- Boiler repeatedly cutting out or making strange noises
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, now is the time to take action—before winter arrives and your heating system is under pressure.
Why Summer is the Best Time
- Heating System is Idle
With your central heating off for much of the summer, it’s the ideal time for maintenance. A power flush won’t disrupt your comfort and allows your system to be cleaned and ready without pressure from daily use.
- Engineer Availability
Summer is typically a quieter time for heating engineers, meaning it’s easier to book appointments at a time that suits you. At Forte Heating, we offer flexible summer scheduling so you can fit in your power flush with minimal disruption.
- Prepare for Winter Demand
Booking a power flush now ensures your heating system is clean and running efficiently before winter hits. It reduces the risk of breakdowns and improves system performance, helping your home warm up quicker and more evenly when you really need it.
