How Our Efficiency Checks Work

We believe in a meticulous, technology-led approach to central heating maintenance. When you book an efficiency check with Fact Services, our engineers follow a thorough step-by-step process to evaluate your entire system.Visual and Diagnostic Assessment: We start by checking your boiler's internal components, looking for signs of wear, leaks, or pressure drops.Advanced Thermal Imaging: Using state-of-the-art infrared cameras, we scan your radiators and pipework. This allows us to instantly spot radiator cold spots, which often indicate a build-up of magnetite sludge or trapped air.Boiler Combustion Analysis: We test the flue gases to ensure your boiler is burning fuel efficiently and safely, measuring the precise ratio of gas to air.Radiator Balancing Checks: We assess how heat is distributed around your Willenhall property. If some rooms are sweltering while others remain freezing, we evaluate the lockshield valves to see if radiator balancing is required.Once the survey is complete, we provide clear, actionable advice on how to restore your system to peak condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my radiators cold at the bottom?Cold spots at the bottom or middle of a radiator usually indicate a build-up of magnetite sludge and rust within the system. This thick sludge restricts water flow. Our thermal imaging cameras can detect this instantly, and we can recommend solutions such as a power flush or installing a magnetic system filter.How often should I have an efficiency check?We highly recommend combining an efficiency check with your annual boiler service. Having your system evaluated once a year, ideally before winter sets in, ensures you are not wasting money during the coldest months and prevents unexpected central heating breakdowns.Can thermal imaging find hidden leaks?Yes. Alongside identifying radiator inefficiencies, our thermal imaging leak detection service is incredibly effective at spotting hidden micro-leaks under floorboards or behind walls without the need for destructive property damage.

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

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.
