Central heating pumps:
These are the water pumps that are used to pump water round the central heating system. Central heating pumps pump the hot water from a boiler, round the radiator then back to boiler. They are usually about 15cm or 6 inches in size.

It is common that heating pumps can go out of order and there may be a number of reasons for it like if the pump is allowed to run dry for a longer time. Similarly if the sludge builds up in the system, the debris can cause system failure.

Electrical faults of electrical pumps:
There may be other faults in the heating pump that can cause problems requiring emergency plumbing Beckenham, so it is necessary to check the electrical faults too before you plan to replace it.
