Central heating systems are an essential part of most homes and businesses, and ensuring their longevity and efficiency is vital. One key element in maintaining these systems is the use of a central heating inhibitor—a product designed to prevent corrosion, limescale buildup, and sludge formation within your heating system. But how long does a central heating inhibitor last, and why should you consider VEXO’s range of water treatment additives for your system? Let’s dive in.
A central heating inhibitor is a chemical solution added to your central heating system’s water. Its purpose is to protect the internal components, such as pipes, radiators, and boilers, from corrosion and the buildup of limescale and sludge. Over time, untreated systems can suffer from reduced efficiency, increased energy costs, and expensive breakdowns.
The inhibitor acts as a shield, keeping your heating system in top condition and ensuring that it operates at peak performance year-round.
The lifespan of a central heating inhibitor typically depends on several factors, such as:
In general, a central heating inhibitor should last between 2 to 5 years. However, regular checks and system maintenance are essential to ensure the inhibitor remains effective. UK Building Regulations Part L state that an on-site water test is required to test the level of inhibitor and cleanliness of the system every year. Inhibitor should be re-dosed every five-years or a full system water test undertaken.
Here are some common signs that your inhibitor may need to be replaced or topped up:
