I own a property that is currently rented out. The tenant recently complained about noise coming from the boiler and heating giving out. I called in a BG engineer who, I am told, has replaced the pump which rectified both the noise and heating problem. However, he has recommended a power flush at a cost of approximately £700. Add that to the cost of the call out and repair (£200) and my pocket is taking a bit of a bashing.
I would be grateful for thoughts on whether a power flush is really necessary and, if so, how often I should expect to do it and and how much should I expect to pay. The central heating was newly installed in 2000, so it may well be time but I lived in my last place for 15 years and never had a power flush with no noticeable problems. The property is an upstairs maisonette with 3 rooms in addition to a kitchen and bathroom. I think there are 6 radiators on the property in total. The property is in London.
All thoughts gratefully received!
