This non-invasive method instantly reveals radiator cold spots, trapped air, and blockages caused by magnetite sludge.Boiler Combustion Testing: We analyse your boiler's internal components and flue gases to ensure it is burning fuel safely and operating at maximum boiler efficiency.Heat Distribution Assessment: We check the temperature drop across your system to determine if professional radiator balancing is required. This ensures every room heats up evenly.Actionable Reporting: After our inspection, we provide clear advice on how to optimise your central heating, from adjusting smart heating controls to potential power flushing requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my heating system checked for efficiency?We recommend an annual check, ideally alongside your regular boiler service before the winter season begins. This ensures your system is operating at peak efficiency when you rely on it the most.What causes radiator cold spots at the bottom of my radiator?Cold spots at the bottom or middle of a radiator are typically caused by a buildup of iron oxide sludge. Our thermal cameras easily identify these blockages, which can usually be resolved with a professional chemical flush.Can your thermal imaging technology find hidden pipe leaks?Yes. As well as checking radiator performance, our equipment is highly effective for non-destructive thermal imaging leak detection. We can trace hot water pipes under floors and behind walls to pinpoint hidden leaks without ripping up floorboards.Does radiator balancing actually save money?Absolutely. Proper radiator balancing ensures that hot water is distributed evenly to all radiators, preventing your boiler from overworking to heat the furthest rooms in your home.

"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.
