How Our Heating Efficiency Surveys Work

We take a meticulous, non-invasive approach to diagnosing your central heating performance. When our engineers visit your Kidderminster home, we evaluate every component of your system to ensure it is firing at its optimum rate.Thermal Imaging Diagnostics: We use infrared cameras to scan your radiators and pipework. This instantly reveals hidden cold spots, blockages, and internal sludge build-up without the need to lift floorboards or dismantle your system.Boiler Performance Testing: We analyse your boiler's firing rate, working pressure, and flue gas emissions. This tells us exactly how efficiently your boiler is converting gas into usable heat.Hydronic Balancing Checks: We check the flow and return temperatures across your network to ensure your radiators are perfectly balanced, meaning the radiator furthest from the boiler gets just as hot as the closest one.Once the central heating survey is complete, we provide clear, actionable recommendations to improve your system's output and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions About Radiator Checks

Why are my radiators hot at the top but cold at the bottom?This is a classic sign of iron oxide sludge build-up inside your central heating system. The sludge settles at the bottom of the radiator, preventing hot water from circulating fully. Our thermal imaging surveys instantly detect these blockages, allowing us to recommend targeted solutions like power flushing or magnetic filter installations.Will an efficiency check tell me if I need a new boiler?Not necessarily. In many cases, poor heating performance is caused by balancing issues, faulty valves, or minor part degradation rather than a failing boiler. Our primary goal is to optimise your existing system. We will only recommend a replacement if your current boiler is unsafe, beyond repair, or financially unviable to keep running.Is the thermal imaging survey disruptive to my home?Not at all. Thermal imaging is a completely non-destructive and non-invasive process. Our cameras simply read the infrared heat signatures radiating from your walls, floors, and radiators, meaning we can identify hidden pipework and leaks without lifting a single floorboard or causing any mess.

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.
