How Our Efficiency Check Service Works

We take a systematic, technology-led approach to central heating maintenance. When a Gas Safe engineer from Fact Services visits your Brownhills property, we assess your entire heating circuit from the boiler's combustion performance to the heat output of your final radiator.Initial System Assessment: We inspect your boiler's internal components, checking for optimal gas pressure, flow rates, and signs of premature wear.Advanced Thermal Imaging: Using sensitive thermal cameras, we scan your radiators and pipework to visually pinpoint sludge build-up, blockages, and trapped air without lifting floorboards.Radiator Balancing Analysis: We measure the temperature drop across your radiators to ensure heat is distributed evenly throughout your property, reducing unnecessary strain on your boiler.Comprehensive Reporting: You receive clear, actionable advice on improving your home's energy performance, whether that requires a simple system flush, thermostatic valve upgrades, or thermal imaging leak detection.Ready to optimise your central heating?

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes radiator cold spots?Cold spots at the top of a radiator are typically caused by trapped air, which can easily be bled. However, cold patches at the bottom or in the middle indicate a build-up of iron oxide sludge and debris within the system, which restricts hot water flow and forces your boiler to overwork.How does thermal imaging help with central heating maintenance?Our thermal imaging technology allows us to "see" the heat distribution across your pipes and radiators instantly. It highlights blockages, flow issues, and hidden leaks under floors without any destructive investigation, making our efficiency checks highly accurate and non-invasive.How often should I have my boiler and radiators checked for efficiency?We recommend an annual boiler efficiency check, ideally carried out alongside your routine boiler servicing and maintenance. Preparing your heating system before the winter months ensures it runs at peak performance when you need it most, preventing unexpected breakdowns.

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.
