How Our Boiler and Radiator Efficiency Checks Work

Our process takes the guesswork out of central heating maintenance. When a Fact Services engineer arrives at your property, we conduct a thorough, non-invasive assessment of your entire heating network.Precision Thermal Imaging: We use advanced infrared cameras to scan your radiators and pipework. This reveals hidden cold spots, blockages, and internal radiator sludge that prevent heat from circulating properly.Flue Gas Analysis: By analysing the gases leaving your boiler's flue, we can accurately measure its combustion performance and ensure it is burning fuel cleanly and efficiently.System Diagnostics: We check for common faults like boiler short-cycling, flow rate issues, and thermostat inaccuracies.Once the survey is complete, we provide clear, practical recommendations to restore your system to optimal health, from simple balancing to professional power flushing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have a boiler and radiator efficiency check?We strongly recommend an annual efficiency survey, ideally scheduled alongside your standard boiler servicing and maintenance. This ensures your system is perfectly prepared before the cold winter months arrive.Can thermal imaging really find hidden leaks and blockages?Yes. Our non-invasive thermal imaging cameras detect temperature variations through walls and floors. This allows us to spot cold spots caused by sludge build-up in radiators, as well as hidden pipe leaks, without causing any disruption to your home.What is boiler short-cycling?Short-cycling happens when your boiler turns itself on and off rapidly without fully heating your home. It uses excessive gas and causes serious wear and tear on your boiler's components. Our checks identify the root cause, whether it is a thermostat issue, poor water flow, or an oversized boiler.

What Our Clients Say About Fact Services

"Called Fact Services when our Worcester boiler broke down in the middle of the night. The Gas Safe engineer arrived within the hour, diagnosed the fault immediately, and had our heating back on before morning. Genuine, professional, and very fairly priced. Highly recommend them!"

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.
