How Our Heating Efficiency Audit Works

Our heating efficiency audit is a meticulous, step-by-step process designed to uncover every underlying issue in your system. We do not just guess; we use advanced diagnostic tools to provide concrete data on how your central heating is performing.Initial Thermal Imaging Survey: We scan your radiators and pipework using infrared cameras. This thermal imaging leak detection instantly highlights sludge build-up, trapped air, and areas where heat is failing to circulate properly.Boiler Flue Gas Analysis: Our engineers test the emissions from your boiler to ensure it is burning fuel efficiently and safely. This helps us gauge the overall health of your unit.System Balancing and Radiator Checks: We assess the heat output across your entire property. If required, we perform expert radiator bleeding and balancing to ensure even, comfortable temperatures in every room.Pump and Control Assessment: We inspect your heating controls, thermostats, and pump pressure to confirm your system is responding correctly to your demands.Once the audit is complete, we provide a detailed efficiency report outlining actionable steps to restore your system to peak condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my radiator have cold spots at the bottom?Cold spots at the bottom of a radiator usually indicate a build-up of metallic sludge and rust within the system.

Having your central heating system assessed once a year ensures it remains safe, efficient, and fully prepared to handle the heavy demands of winter heating.Will an efficiency check help lower my energy bills?Yes.

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.
