How Our Boiler and Radiator Efficiency Check Works

Our comprehensive efficiency checks go far beyond a standard visual inspection. We utilise non-invasive technology to analyse your entire central heating network, ensuring every drop of energy is converted into usable heat.Precision Thermal Imaging: We use infrared thermal cameras to scan your radiators, pipework, and underfloor heating. This instantly highlights cold spots caused by internal radiator sludge, trapped air, or circulation issues.Flue Gas Analysis: Our engineers test the emissions leaving your boiler to ensure the fuel is burning cleanly and at peak efficiency, keeping you safe while minimising gas waste.System Diagnostics: We evaluate the boiler thermostat response and check for short-cycling, a common fault where the boiler turns on and off too frequently, burning excess fuel.Once the survey is complete, we provide clear, consultative advice on the best steps to restore your system performance.

Our non-invasive thermal imaging detects hidden leaks and blockages without the need to lift floorboards, remove plaster, or drain your system.

What Our Clients Say About Fact Services

"Called Fact Services when our Worcester boiler broke down in the middle of the night. The Gas Safe engineer arrived within the hour, diagnosed the fault immediately, and had our heating back on before morning. Genuine, professional, and very fairly priced. Highly recommend them!"

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.
