you don't need to be corgi to do power flushing because it has nothing to do with the gas side of the CH, If its an old system that your power flushing it can cause leaks so he will need to be prepared to repair the CH system if there are any leaks

oh i do like a laugh
as uug197h said you can do powerflushing if you can do the rest that gos with it.
understanding a central heating helps as 9/10 systems that powerflushing also need extra work as well, as in radiator valves changed, understanding where the blockages occur, how to powerflush a heat exchanger, use the right chemicals for the right job as many can distroy a combi boiler.
people use powerflushing as a way to print money in many cases a good chemical in the system for a while and then flushed will sort the problem.
you won't earn a living out of just powerflushing.
