How Our Boiler Efficiency Checks Work

We take a highly technical, data-driven approach to central heating maintenance. When you book an efficiency audit with Fact Services, our engineers perform a comprehensive diagnostic check of your entire heating system.Thermal Imaging Surveys: We use advanced infrared cameras to visually map heat distribution across your radiators and pipework. This allows us to quickly identify blockages, trapped air, and iron oxide sludge without any invasive checks.Flow and Return Diagnostics: By accurately measuring the temperature of the water leaving and returning to your boiler, we pinpoint calibration issues that force your system to waste gas.Professional Radiator Balancing: We meticulously adjust the lockshield valves on your radiators to ensure heated water is distributed evenly throughout your property, eliminating cold rooms entirely.Authoritative System Advice: As accredited installers for leading boiler brands, we provide tailored recommendations to improve your setup, such as upgrading heating controls or arranging a chemical flush.

Frequently Asked Questions About Energy Saving

What causes cold spots at the bottom of a radiator?Cold spots at the bottom or middle of a radiator are almost always caused by a build-up of iron oxide sludge. This thick, black debris restricts water flow and forces your boiler to work much harder than necessary. We detect these blockages quickly and easily using our thermal imaging cameras.How often should I have my heating efficiency checked?We recommend a comprehensive central heating efficiency check every two to three years, ideally carried out alongside your annual boiler service. This proactive approach catches minor system imbalances before they lead to increased energy consumption or sudden component failure.Will radiator balancing really save me money?Yes, absolutely. If your system is unbalanced, your boiler fires for longer periods trying to heat the furthest radiators in the house. By professionally balancing the flow, your boiler achieves target temperatures much faster and uses far less gas, resulting in noticeable energy saving on your bills.Have more questions about improving your heating?

"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!"

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.
