Sludge in Central Heating IG10

Sludge in central heating IG10 is a serious problem which is caused by oxidation of radiators which can up to 50 years old in some gas systems.

Rust from inside old radiators and filings from original installations,  dirt from water, and other forms of wear and tear add to the gas central heating system. This ultimately transforms into a nasty sludge that’s not only an eyesore, but a headache to get rid of.

  • Loud noises from the boiler called which is called, “kettling”.
  • Cold areas in radiators when other areas are hot.
  • Low boiler performance and high electricity bills.

We installed a Magnetic in-line filter fitted on combi system in Loughton for a new boiler installation after we flushed the system to protect from sludge. In some cases manufactures can refuse to honor a warranty when sludge is the cause of a breakdown of parts. So it is important to insure your gas safe registered engineer flushes your system twice for a new boiler installation. A magnetic in line filter can offer extra protection by pulling out particles which cause sludge before it enters your gas boiler.

When you think about it, inflation is a leech that sucks wealth from working class families without being too obtrusive. It happens without noticing it. Slowly over time the bills rise. There’s all kinds of ways this happens in a home or business. The best defense you have are companies like RJ Gas who get certified and trained to improve efficiency, while reducing cost. That’s the name of the game for the species going forward, so it’s no different with boilers.

Sludge in central heating IG10 is a problem which needs to be addressed immediately or will cause boiler breakdown.
