Does your boiler make rattling noises, or are your radiators cold at the bottom?

These are signs that your central system might be suffering from a buildup of iron oxide ‘sludge’.  This happens because radiators corrode internally, over time.  The corrosion will move around your central heating pipes and can really affect the energy efficiency of your boiler.  The solution is to clean and drain your system, for example by getting it  “powerflushed”.  This your system makes sure that your radiators heat up properly, and that your boiler is performing at top efficiency, cutting your bills.

Of course, if you’re boiler’s not an efficient model then there’s only so much that cleaning can achieve.  It might be worth considering getting a new condensing boiler installed.  If you’re in receipt of certain benefits and have a boiler that’s over 8 years old, you might be eligible for a free boiler under the “ECO” scheme.  Even if you’re not, it could still be a sound investment.
