What is a heat exchanger?
A heat exchanger in a furnace is a critical component that transfers heat from the combustion gases to the air that is blown through the furnace and into the home. It’s essentially a series of coils or tubes that heat the air while keeping the combustion gases separate, thereby ensuring only clean, warm air is circulated in your living spaces. It’s vital for the efficient operation of the furnace and plays a crucial role in ensuring safety by preventing harmful gases like carbon monoxide from entering the home’s air supply. Regular inspection of the heat exchanger is important to check for any cracks or damage.
