How Our Efficiency Checks Work

We believe in a thorough, evidence-based approach to heating diagnostics. When you book a boiler and radiator efficiency check with Fact Services, our engineers follow a precise, step-by-step process:Thermal Imaging Analysis: Using high-resolution infrared cameras, we scan your radiators and pipework to detect cold spots, sludge blockages, and trapped air without any disruptive dismantling.Flow and Return Temperature Checks: We measure the water temperature leaving and returning to your boiler. This helps us ensure the system is perfectly balanced and operating at its optimum design parameters.Boiler Health Assessment: Our engineers check your boiler's internal components, pump performance, and overall energy output to spot early signs of wear or failure.Detailed Reporting: We provide you with a clear, professional overview of your system's health, alongside practical recommendations for improvement.By relying on accurate thermal imaging heating technology, we take the guesswork out of system repairs and energy surveys.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a boiler and radiator efficiency check take?A typical survey takes between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of your property and the number of radiators. We use rapid thermal imaging technology to speed up the diagnostic process without sacrificing accuracy.Why are my radiators cold at the bottom?Radiators that are hot at the top but cold at the bottom usually suffer from a build-up of magnetic iron oxide sludge. Our thermal cameras can clearly show this blockage, and we may recommend a power flush or magnetic filter installation to restore full radiator performance.Will this check help lower my energy bills?Yes. By identifying exactly where your system is losing heat or struggling to circulate water, we can suggest targeted fixes. Improving flow and return temperatures makes your boiler run in condensing mode more often, significantly reducing gas consumption.

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.
