How Our Boiler And Radiator Efficiency Check Works

Our diagnostic process takes the guesswork out of central heating maintenance. When our local Sedgley heating experts visit your property, we follow a meticulous, step-by-step technical assessment:Thermal Imaging Surveys: We scan every radiator in your property with infrared cameras to instantly identify cold spots indicative of magnetite sludge or trapped air.Flow and Return Temperature Analysis: Our engineers measure the water temperature leaving and returning to your boiler. If the differential is too wide, it signals poor circulation or an overworking pump.Radiator Balancing: We adjust the lockshield valves across your system to ensure hot water is distributed evenly, ensuring the furthest radiator gets just as hot as the one closest to the boiler.Targeted Maintenance Plan: Once the assessment is complete, we provide a clear, evidence-based report outlining any necessary actions to restore your system to peak performance.

"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

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.
