PROVISION OF THE POWER FLUSHING SERVICE.
By ordering the power flushing service you accept the following terms and conditions.
Particular attention is drawn to clauses 6 (risk notice and waiver) and 12 (data protection notice). Please read these carefully.
- POWER FLUSHING
- The NRG Power Flushing Service involves flushing or cleansing the Central Heating System at high velocity but low pressure, using water, with cleansing and mobilising agents added, in order to remove any accumulated sludge, corrosion, deposits and scale in older Central Heating Systems and to remove excess flux, swarf and other debris from newly installed Central Heating Systems.
- While the Power Flushing Service is, as far as NRG is aware, the most successful method commercially available to date (with the exception of magnetic filtration), of removing sludge and iron oxide for the purposes of enhancing the thermal efficiency of a Central Heating System, the effectiveness of the Power Flushing Service will depend on the condition of your Central Heating System and no guarantee is given that the Power Flushing Service will be effective in cleaning your particular Central Heating System.
- Subject to 1, the NRG Assessor will assess whether the Power Flushing Service can be carried out on your Central Heating System. The Power Flushing Service is not suitable for microbore/”Gun Barrel”/GB central heating systems.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICE
- A Service Engineer will carry out the Power Flushing Service on your Central Heating System in accordance with the following safety standards: BS 7593 and Annex E of IS 813 (where applicable). The steps involved in the procedure are outlined at 2.3 below.
- For the avoidance of doubt, the Power Flush Service does not include a safety check of your Central Heating System.
- The Service Engineer will do the following as part of the Power Flushing Service:
- Safely drain and dispose of the contents of the Central Heating System;
- Connect a power flushing pump to the Central Heating System (the pump is connected either across standard circulator pump couplings, across the tails of one of the radiators, or wherever the Service Engineer considers is most suitable);
- Activate the pump; the flow of water dislodges and mobilises any build-ups or deposits;
- Pump fresh clean water through the Central Heating System once any deposits have been dislodged and mobilised; and
- Direct the full output of the pump through each radiator to flush it
- If, in the course of preparing for or providing the Power Flushing Service the Service Engineer identifies that your Central Heating System requires any additional work or replacement parts, any such work or parts which NRG agrees to provide, shall be the subject of a separate agreement between us and shall not be included in the cost of the Power Flushing Service.
Neither NRG nor the Service Engineer give any commitment that they will identify any such additional work or replacement parts which may be required or accept any liability for any damage or loss whatsoever which may result from any failure to identify any requirement for additional work or replacement parts or any other deficiency or fault in your Central Heating System.
3. COMMENCEMENT AND CANCELLATION
- Commencement: When you order the Power Flushing Service NRG will run a credit check against you. If this is satisfactory to NRG, the Service Engineer will carry out the Power Flushing Service on the date agreed between you and NRG at the time that you book the Power Flushing Service with KN.

If you cancel less than 5 days before the service is due to be carried out, we will charge you a cancellation fee equal to 50% of the overall cost. You will be deemed to have cancelled with less than 5 days notice if, without at least 5 days prior notice to us, the Service Engineer cannot access your Central Heating System to carry out the Power Flushing Service at and on the agreed time and day.
- If you cancel the Power Flushing Service we will refund any payment for the service which you have already made, less any cancellation fee which is payable. By ordering the Power Flushing Service you expressly agree to payment of any cancellation fee due in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. To the extent that any payment which you have made for the Power Flushing Service is not sufficient to cover the cancellation fee due, the cancellation fee will be automatically charged to your debit/credit card.

mechanical faults in the Central Heating System.
