Frequently Asked Questions

Our thermal imaging heat loss surveys are completely non-invasive. The infrared cameras simply read the surface temperatures of your walls, floors, and radiators, allowing us to accurately detect hidden pipework leaks and sludge blockages without needing to lift floorboards or damage plaster.How often should I check my boiler efficiency?We highly recommend assessing your boiler's efficiency annually, ideally alongside your routine boiler servicing.

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.
