Introduction
Central heating inhibitor is essential for keeping your system clean, efficient, and long-lasting—but many homeowners don’t fully understand why.
What Is Inhibitor?
A chemical solution added to heating systems to prevent:
- Rust (corrosion)
- Limescale buildup
- Sludge formation
How It Works
It creates a protective layer inside pipes and radiators, stopping metal from reacting with water and oxygen.
Benefits
- Extends boiler lifespan
- Improves heating efficiency
- Reduces energy bills
- Prevents costly repairs
What Happens Without It?
Without inhibitor, systems develop:
- Black sludge
- Cold radiators
- Noisy boilers
How Often Should You Add It?
- Once per year
- After draining the system
- After installing new radiators
