Frequently asked questions.

Have a problem or a question. You maybe able to find the answer here.

What exactly does the home heating test kit check for?

The kit allows you to safely sample your system water to measure three critical health indicators: turbidity (sludge and debris levels), pH balance (acidity/alkalinity), and the presence of protective inhibitor chemicals.

How easy is it to use the test kit at home?

It takes just a few minutes. You simply extract a small water sample from a standard radiator bleed valve, apply the provided testing strips or agents, and compare the results against the provided color charts and clarity guides.

What should I do once I have my test results?

You will log your results to create a personalized digital report. You can then share this dashboard directly with a Home Heating Hero to verify your system's health or arrange targeted repairs without paying for unnecessary diagnostics.

Does the test kit actually fix my heating problem?

No, the test kit is a diagnostic tool. It empowers you with exact knowledge of your system's water quality, preventing you from being overcharged for a full power flush when perhaps only a simple flush and top-up of a protection chemical.

How often should I test my heating system water?

We recommend using a test kit annually, ideally in early summer before the heavy winter usage begins to avoid delays and ensure your heating system is available when you need it. You may experience outages if you do need an engineer to visit and you wait until the winter months. Regular testing is the most cost-effective way to catch minor issues before they become expensive breakdowns.
