Common Central Heating Problems And Boiler Maintenance

A number of central heating problems occur due to the change in weather conditions. The stagnation over the summer CV Onderhoud Rotterdam period without being used prevents the heating system to operate smoothly and efficiently. Ideally, it is best to switch on the boiler in your home from time to time over the summer season to ensure the smooth functioning of the system over winter. Most boilers break down due to being inactive for a long period of time.

Common problems include boilers making loud noises, loss of pressure in the system, cold radiator with hot running water or hot radiator with cold running water, leaks or drips, frozen condensate pipe, kettling, thermostat problems and boilers switching off by itself. The most typical and most common problem of all is when the boiler does not heat up equally resulting in half remaining cold and the other half hot. All these problems indicate that the flow and circulation of the heating system needs cleaning and repairing.

Power flushing is the most convenient and easiest way to clean and solve these problems. This simple procedure basically requires flushing out the pipe with a mixed solution of cleaning chemicals and water at a high velocity with low pressure. Connecting the power flush unit to the central heating system where the mixture is pumped through the pipe carries out the power flushing process. Modern boilers have narrower passages unlike older ones hence low pressure is important to prevent any damages to the pipes. Once the debris inside the pipe is loosened, it is rinsed out with clean water.
