The Critical Role of Heat Exchanger Safety
When it comes to furnace maintenance, few components are as crucial as the heat exchanger. This vital part of your heating system deserves special attention, particularly during annual maintenance checks in the colder months across Wills Point, Terrell, and surrounding Texas communities.
What Is a Heat Exchanger?
A heat exchanger is essentially a set of coils or tubes that separates the combustion process from your home’s breathable air. When working correctly, it:
• Contains combustion gases
• Transfers heat to your home’s air supply
• Directs harmful gases out through the exhaust system
