Frequently Asked Questions About Efficiency Checks

What exactly is radiator balancing?Radiator balancing involves adjusting the lockshield valves on your radiators so that hot water flows evenly throughout your entire property. This ensures that the radiators furthest from the boiler heat up just as quickly as the ones closest to it.Will thermal imaging detect sludge in my radiators?Yes. Our infrared cameras can instantly identify cold spots at the bottom or in the middle of a radiator panel. This is a classic, visible sign of magnetite (iron oxide sludge) build-up restricting the hot water flow.How long does a boiler and radiator efficiency check take?Depending on the size of your property and the number of radiators, a standard domestic survey usually takes between 1 to 2 hours. We will provide a full breakdown of our findings immediately afterwards.

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.
