Why Choose Fact Services for Boiler & Radiator Efficiency Checks?

The Benefits of Professional Heating Checks

Investing in a professional efficiency check offers immediate and long-term advantages for your home. A system suffering from hidden blockages has to work significantly harder to reach your desired temperature, which drives up your monthly utility costs.By identifying and resolving radiator cold spots, we help you achieve a consistently warmer home with lower energy consumption. Removing sludge and correcting system imbalances also reduces the strain on vital boiler components, prolonging the lifespan of your unit and actively reducing your household carbon emissions. It is a smart, proactive approach to home heating maintenance.

Our thermal imaging cameras diagnose the exact cause instantly.How long does an energy saving survey take?A standard boiler and radiator efficiency check usually takes between one to two hours, depending on the size of your property and the number of radiators. The non-invasive nature of infrared technology makes it a very efficient process.Will an efficiency check save me money?Yes.

"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!"

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.
