Why does underfloor heating get dirty?
Underfloor heating is a closed system in which water circulates for years. Along the way, this water carries small particles of dirt, rust, and minerals. Over time, these particles accumulate in the pipes, resulting in slow heating, uneven heat distribution, and, in the worst-case scenario, a system that stops working.
Tyleen hoses: extra sensitive
Older systems with polyethylene hoses are more prone to sludge buildup and clogging. The result: cold rooms, an overworking central heating system, and rising energy costs. Recommended: have them flushed every four years .
Lime & hard water
In areas with hard water, minerals adhere to pipes, pumps, and valves. This hinders heat transfer and causes malfunctions. Professional flushing with suitable products removes limescale and restores flow.
Internal corrosion
Even modern pipes aren't immune. Rust particles migrate and accumulate in bends and constrictions, impeding flow. Regular flushing prevents harmful buildup and wear.
Signs that your underfloor heating is clogged
- Unevenly warm floor
- Cold spots in the house
- Long heating time
- Boiler or heat pump runs surprisingly often
- Unexplained higher energy bill
Consequences of pollution
- Higher energy consumption – working harder for the same result
- Faster wear – extra stress on pumps and valves
- More expensive maintenance – breakdowns and repairs are increasing
- Shorter lifespan – never flush = faster replacement
How often to rinse?
- Loan hoses: every 4 years
- Modern systems: every 5 years
- Direct: in case of blockage or unexpectedly high energy costs
How does New Heating approach this?
We map the flow and locate problems without any cutting or demolition work.
We remove dirt, sludge, and limescale using a flushing unit and pH-neutral agents – safe for pipes.
We immediately demonstrate that the system flows cleanly again and works efficiently.
Benefits of flushing at New Heating
- Even heat distribution
- Lower energy costs
- Fewer disruptions
- Longer lifespan of the installation
- Transparent working methods and rates
Cost of flushing underfloor heating
The price depends on the number of circuits and the level of pollution. It's an investment that usually pays for itself quickly through lower energy costs and fewer breakdowns. At New Heating, you work with clear and predictable rates.
Practice: completely clogged by sludge (Den Bosch)
The living room remained cold even though the boiler was running high. The thermal imaging camera showed several blocked circuits. After thoroughly flushing, the heat flowed evenly again. It reached the desired temperature within an hour, and energy consumption was immediately noticeably lower.
Customer case: old polyethylene hoses (Rosmalen)
No heat output and fear of complete replacement. Diagnosis, flushing, and inspection with a thermal imaging camera revealed: blockages were the culprit. After flushing, the system functioned like new again – no expensive replacement necessary.
What equipment do we use?
- Advanced flushing units with adjustable pressure and flow rate
- Thermal cameras for visible flow before and after
- pH neutral cleaning agents, safe for pipes and components
- Special tools for air removal and clearing blockages
Prevention is better than cure
Don't wait for complaints to pile up. By preventatively flushing every 4–5 years, you keep energy costs low, minimize malfunctions, and keep your system in top condition for decades.
Why choose New Heating?
- Experience and specialization – busy with flushing every day
- Transparent pricing – no hidden costs
- Unique method – inspection and control with thermal imaging camera
- Sustainable results – longer lifespan and lower consumption
- National coverage – always on site quickly
Costs vs. savings
A rinse costs less than you think and pays for itself through:
- Lower energy bills (10-20% savings are not uncommon)
- Fewer malfunctions and lower maintenance costs
- Longer lifespan of the installation

Sustainability and future-proof heating
Clean underfloor heating is crucial for efficiency and comfort, especially with low-temperature heating and heat pumps. Clogged pipes restrict flow and reduce efficiency. By flushing regularly, you maximize efficiency, lower energy consumption, and reduce CO₂ emissions.
