Magnetic Filter Repair & Installation in Newcastle, Wallsend & Nearby

Magnetic Filters

Protection

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

Location

Placed near the boiler or in the return pipe, magnetic filters use strong magnets to attract and capture debris like rust and iron oxide

Efficiency

By preventing sludge buildup, the filter enhances system efficiency, extends boiler and radiator life, and reduces maintenance costs.

Testimonials

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 is best installed on the heating return pipe, close to the boiler. This helps stop sludge from reaching the boiler.

If this isn’t possible, a magnetic filter can still be effective anywhere on the system. It can also be fitted on the flow pipe or inside the hot water cylinder cupboard if needed.

How often does a magnetic filter need to be cleaned?

A magnetic filter rarely needs cleaning unless the heating system has a buildup of dirt and sludge. In my experience, most filters I’ve cleaned have had very little dirt, which suggests the system is in good condition.

If your filter clogs frequently, clean it as needed and consider flushing the system to remove built-up sludge.

What are the benefits of using a magnetic filter?

A magnetic filter helps keep your heating system running efficiently by:

Improving system efficiency and performance
Extending the lifespan of boiler components
Reducing maintenance costs and the risk of breakdowns

It helps prevent sludge buildup, keeping your system cleaner and working more effectively.

Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?

Yes, all work carried out by HouseWarm is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If any issues arise due to the installation or work done, they will be fixed at no additional cost.

New fittings and parts typically come with a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty. However, in some cases, second-hand boiler parts may be the best or only option, and these might not include a warranty.
