We Give A Free 2nd Opinion On Cracked Heat Exchangers

Underestimating cracked heat exchangers can be a suicidal move. Studies have shown that out of all poisonous gas deaths, almost 60% of people die from accidental carbon monoxide (CO) leaks. These deaths can be prevented, but you can’t x-ray your walls, right? Even if you tear out all the sheetrock and sneak a camera inside your walls, you cannot see every detail of your heat exchanger’s condition. Back in the day, heat exchangers’ health checks used to be done with a simple visual inspection. Yes, it was better than nothing, but you could not get a 100% confirmation about any crack on the heat exchanger.

At AVS, we understand the importance of a safe and reliable heating system. We are a team of seasoned technicians who provide expert second opinions on cracked heat exchangers. Our services are best suited for you if your company confirms that your furnace’s heat exchanger is not functioning well because it’s broken or rusted in any way. You can contact us for a second opinion; we’ll visit your house at no charge for a thorough heat exchanger inspection.

If you seek an expert second opinion for your furnace’s heat exchanger, you have just landed on the right page. If you’re a first-timer, we’ll help you acquaint yourself with the importance of the proper heat exchanger inspection.

First Things First, What Is A Heat Exchanger?

A heat exchanger is a main screw component in your furnace responsible for transferring heat produced by the combustion process in the air that flows inside your home’s heating system. Here, a heat exchanger is critical to separating the gasses produced during combustion from the air you inhale inside your home or any building with a heating system.

Gas furnaces can be paired with different heat exchangers, such as tube heat exchangers, shells, plates, and shell heat exchangers. Every exchanger functions with the same working principle.

Why is a Cracked Heat Exchanger a Concern?

Now its important to realize why a cracked heat exchanger is a significant concern and how it can easily be a risk to ones life. A heat exchanger is the sole component of every furnace; it separates the combustion process from the air in your home. During combustion, filtering removes harmful byproducts, such as carbon monoxide, from your home so you don’t breathe in these poisonous gases.

Here, we’ve listed how a cracked heat exchanger can cause several problems.

Safety Hazard: Cracks in the heat exchanger can allow dangerous gases, such as carbon monoxide, to escape into your home, putting your family at risk.

Reduced Efficiency: A cracked heat exchanger can hinder your furnace’s efficiency, resulting in higher energy bills and less effective heating.

Costly Repairs: Repairing or replacing a heat exchanger is a significant expense, and ensuring the diagnosis is accurate before committing to the work is essential.
