How Our Boiler and Radiator Efficiency Checks Work

Our diagnostic process is thorough, transparent, and completely tailored to your property. When a Fact Services engineer arrives at your Aldridge home, we begin with a comprehensive visual and technical inspection of your entire central heating setup. We assess your boiler's combustion performance to ensure it is burning fuel efficiently and safely.Next, we conduct a detailed heat loss survey using professional thermal imaging cameras. This allows us to track the hot water distribution across every radiator in your home. We look for blockages, air pockets, and sludge that cause uneven heating. If your radiators are hot at the top but cold at the bottom, this technology instantly shows us the extent of the blockage.Finally, we assess your heating controls, thermostats, and valves. Once our check is complete, we provide clear, actionable advice on how to improve your system. This might include system cleansing, radiator balancing, or upgrading to smart heating controls to maximise your home's warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my radiators hot at the top but cold at the bottom?This is usually a clear sign of a sludge build-up. Over time, rust and debris mix with the water in your central heating system to form a thick, black sludge that settles at the bottom of your radiators. This prevents hot water from circulating properly. Our efficiency checks identify these blockages, and we can resolve them with a system cleanse or power flush.How does thermal imaging leak detection help with efficiency?Thermal imaging leak detection allows us to see the exact path of the hot water running through your pipes and radiators without lifting any floorboards. If there is a hidden micro-leak or a severe blockage causing a sudden drop in boiler pressure, our infrared cameras will pinpoint the exact location, allowing for a fast and non-destructive repair.What is radiator balancing, and why do I need it?Radiator balancing involves adjusting the valves on every radiator in your home to ensure the hot water from the boiler is distributed evenly. If the radiators closest to your boiler are extremely hot but those furthest away are barely lukewarm, your system is unbalanced. Balancing restores even heat distribution, ensuring maximum energy efficiency.

What Our Clients Say About Fact Services

Mark T. / Wolverhampton

"We had a persistent damp patch that another plumber couldn't find the source of. Fact Services came out to us in Dudley, used their thermal imaging camera, and pinpointed the hidden leak under the floorboards in minutes. Saved us from ripping up the whole living room floor. Outstanding 24/7 service!"

Sarah J. / Dudley

"Fact Services installed a brand new gas interlock system and issued a CP42 safety certificate for our restaurant kitchen. Top-class commercial gas engineers—they knew exactly what the building controls required and worked around our opening hours to minimize disruption. Great honest tradesmen."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our boiler and radiator efficiency checks in Wolverhampton & West Midlands

Why are the bottom of my radiators cold?

+

This is usually a sign of "sludge" or magnetite build-up. Over time, the inside of your radiators can corrode, creating a black metallic debris that settles at the bottom. This prevents hot water from circulating properly. Our efficiency check can confirm if you need a powerflush or a system filter to fix this.

How often should I have an efficiency check?

+

We recommend a full performance check once a year, ideally just before the autumn sets in. While a standard annual service focuses on safety, an efficiency check goes deeper into how the system is actually performing, helping you keep bills low before the heavy winter usage begins.

Can thermal imaging find leaks in my floor?

+

Yes. Thermal imaging is an incredible tool for spotting "hot spots" under floorboards or behind walls where a pipe might be weeping. It allows us to find the source of a leak or a blockage without having to lift carpets or damage your flooring unnecessarily.

Will a smart thermostat improve my boiler’s efficiency?

+

It certainly helps. Smart controls allow for better scheduling and more accurate temperature management. During our check, we can look at your current controls and suggest if a smart upgrade would help you save more on your energy bills.
