Underfloor Heating Power Flush, Balancing & Full Health Check in Budleigh Salterton 🔥

by

If your underfloor heating system is 20+ years old, chances are it’s not performing how it should.

We were recently called to a property in Budleigh Salterton with a 28-year-old Nu-Heat underfloor heating system that wasn’t heating evenly and had slow warm-up times.

Older underfloor systems can suffer from:

• Sludge and magnetite build-up

• Blocked loops

• Poor flow rates

• Unbalanced circuits

• Inefficient pump performance

• Reduced heat output

Instead of replacing the system (which would be extremely disruptive and costly), we carried out a full professional power flush, system balance, and health check to restore performance.

🔧 What We Did

✅ Connected professional high-flow power flushing equipment

✅ Carried out chemical clean to break down 28 years of sludge build-up

✅ Flushed each underfloor heating loop individually

✅ Cleared blockages and restored circulation

✅ Refilled with fresh inhibitor protection

✅ Balanced all manifold circuits for even heat distribution

✅ Completed full thermal imaging before & after checks

Thermal imaging clearly showed improved heat spread across the floor after flushing and balancing.

💡 Why Underfloor Heating Needs Maintenance

Underfloor heating systems are often forgotten because you can’t see them. But they still require maintenance — especially older systems.

Without servicing:

• Sludge restricts flow

• Pumps work harder

• Energy bills increase

• Rooms heat unevenly

• System lifespan reduces

A power flush and balance can dramatically improve efficiency and comfort — often without the need for expensive upgrades.

⚡ Is Your Underfloor Heating System Underperforming?

If your floors take ages to warm up, certain rooms feel cooler, or your system hasn’t been serviced in years — it may just need a professional clean and balance.

Restoring performance is often far cheaper than replacing the system.
