Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my radiators need an efficiency check?Common signs of an inefficient heating system include radiators that are cold at the bottom but hot at the top, a boiler that frequently loses pressure, or rooms that take an unusually long time to heat up. These are classic symptoms of iron oxide sludge build-up.How does thermal imaging help with heating performance?Our thermal cameras allow us to see the exact heat distribution across your radiators and pipework. This means we can instantly locate blockages, poor flow, and heat loss without needing to dismantle your system or lift up your floorboards.Will an efficiency check actually save me money?Yes. By identifying exactly where your system is wasting energy, we can recommend highly targeted fixes, like a magnetic filter installation, a system power flush, or smart heating controls. A clean, balanced system uses significantly less gas to reach your desired temperature, which directly lowers your energy bills.

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.
