Heating System Flushing with the FERNOX System
When control valves, radiators or underfloor heating are not heating properly, flushing the system can help.
Under normal circumstances, there is no need to flush the heating system if the quality of the system fluid is adequate and is checked by a service technician during the boiler’s annual maintenance. However, this is not always the case.
Flushing is typically required when the boiler has been replaced with a condensing boiler (or is about to be replaced), when thermostatic valves are not opening and closing properly, when certain radiators or underfloor heating circuits are not heating adequately, or when the condition of the system is unknown after purchasing a new home.
- If the boiler has been replaced with a condensing boiler, or is about to be replaced.
- If the boiler service technician has recommended flushing.
- If you are preparing for the initial test heating of a new system.
- If you have purchased a new apartment or house and the condition of the heating system is unknown.
As a result of flushing, the heat transfer efficiency of the heating system fluid improves, control valves operate more reliably, the boiler’s service life can be extended, and gas consumption may be reduced.
