How Our Efficiency Checks Work

Our central heating maintenance checks are incredibly thorough, completely non-disruptive, and highly technical. We methodically assess your entire property's heating loop to ensure peak performance at all times.Initial System Diagnostics: We begin the process by safely firing up your central heating. We check your boiler's internal components, assess system pressure levels, and conduct a detailed analysis of combustion efficiency.Thermal Imaging Heat Loss Survey: Using cutting-edge infrared technology, we scan every individual radiator and hidden pipeway. This instantly reveals trapped air, hidden sludge accumulations, and the exact locations where heat distribution is failing.Valve and Control Assessment: We test your thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) and smart heating controls to ensure they are communicating accurately with your boiler network.Actionable Reporting: Once our assessment is complete, we provide clear, evidence-based recommendations to restore your system to full health, which may include professional radiator balancing or a chemical power flush. Speak to our local team today on 01902 953454 to schedule your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my radiators need an efficiency check?Common warning signs include radiators that remain cold at the top while hot at the bottom, rooms taking far longer than usual to heat up, a noisy central heating system, or unexpected, sharp spikes in your monthly gas bills.What exactly is radiator balancing?Radiator balancing is the highly technical process of carefully adjusting the lockshield valves on your radiators to ensure heated water flows evenly throughout the entire property. This guarantees that the radiators situated furthest from the boiler get just as hot as the ones located right next to it.Will a thermal imaging survey damage my property?Not at all. Thermal imaging is a completely non-invasive and non-destructive diagnostic tool. It seamlessly allows us to view the precise heat signatures of pipes hidden under solid floors or behind walls without ever needing to remove floorboards or damage plaster.How long does an efficiency check take?A standard domestic efficiency and heat loss survey typically takes between one to two hours to complete, depending largely on the size of your property and the overall complexity of your current heating network.

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.
