Protect your heating system with a magnetic filter

improving system efficiency and longevity

Magnetic Filter Installations

A heating system magnetic filter is a device installed in central heating systems to remove magnetic and non-magnetic particles from circulating water.

Placed near the boiler or in the return pipe, it uses strong magnets to attract and capture debris like rust and iron oxide. By preventing sludge buildup, the filter enhances system efficiency, extends boiler and radiator life, and reduces maintenance costs.

Testimonials

 5/5

Great and quick communication. Clean and professional work. Had an outdoor tap fitted for the garden. Responses to the enquiry and further communication was quick and helpful. Arrived on time and the job was done friendly and professionally. Would very much recommend Steve from HouseWarm.

This guy is a consummate professional and straight down the line. Got told my boiler was knackered and needed upgrading, I wanted one last roll of the dice to make certain. Good job I did. From what was meant to be kaput, he got it working like it was new again. I couldn’t recommend this guy highly enough.

I had Steven visit today to service my boiler, absolutely fantastic, efficient and even helped me diagnose a couple of other niggling issues without any further charge. I would highly recommend if anyone is looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and skilled plumber.

I contacted Steven and he came around first thing the following day and sorted the problem promptly, clearly explaining the issue, the work required and his fee. He was very courteous and left no mess. I will use Steven again and recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber/heating engineer.

Very quick response to my email enquiry, then the two radiators were replaced within days. They looked great and the work was undertaken with care. I would highly recommend and would definitely use the company again if I had any plumbing or heating needs.

Contacted Steven via email about a leak we had on our toilet. Had a prompt reply and arranged a date/time to visit. He arrived on time, managed to fix the issue within a couple of hours and left everything clean and tidy. Very professional and would highly recommend. Many thanks.

I had been having problems with my toilet flushing for over 2 years of living in my flat, I have had other plumbers look at it but was told to replace the full toilet which I could not afford. Steve came out the same day and replaced a valve in less than an hour which has got the toilet working like new, full flush every time 🙂

FAQs

Where should a magnetic filter be installed?

A magnetic filter should be installed on the heating return pipe, right next to the boiler. This is the perfect location to stop any sludge before it goes into the boiler.

However, the perfect location isn’t always possible, but having a magnetic filter anywhere on your system is much better than not having one.

They can be fitted on the flow pipe or in the hot water cylinder cupboard if need be.

How often does the magnetic filter need to be cleaned?

In my experience, most of the time a magnetic filter never really needs to be cleaned unless you been having problems with a dirty heating system.

The vast majority I have cleaned have had very little dirt on to clean off which means it’s a clean heating system.

If you have a dirty filter and keep needing to clean it, then you should clean it as often as possible to get as much dirt out the system as possible, or maybe you should flush the system.

What are the benefits of using a magnetic filter?

The benefits include improved system efficiency, extended lifespan of components, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced overall central heating performance.

Do you provide any warranties or guarantees on your work?

Yes, any work carried out by HouseWarm is guaranteed for a full 12 months and we will fix any problems caused by the installation or work done.

Brand new fittings and parts typically come with 12 month warranties from the supplier but sometimes second hand boiler parts are the best or only option and might not have a warranty.
