I've just had Eon visit today under our maintenance contract to try to fix our central heating but its not worked...
The rads are only getting warm on the top and are just not heating the house so wife and kids not happy. I've already taken one rad off and flushed with a hose, there wasn't a lot of black sludge that came out so i'm thinking its not sludged up. Despite this the radiator hasn't improved.
So called Eon out.
They came out and said it was the pump and changed it. However its made no difference at all, so i'm at a loss what to do next.
They have recommended a powerflush but i'm not convinced and also we can't afford it. There are 15 rads in the house so would cost around £400!
The system is a vented cylinder indirect heating using an Ideal NF70 Boiler about 16 years old i think. There is an expansion tank in the loft.
Should I try some Sentinel X400?
Is it worth paying for the powerflush or is there an other option?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
