If you’re a homeowner in any part of Butler County, we’d probably guess that you use a furnace to heat your home. Furnaces are reliable, cost-effective, and provide great comfort to a house. We strongly recommend one of these systems for most homes in the area. Furnaces aren’t inherently dangerous systems, but they can definitely become dangerous if things start to head south with certain parts of the unit.

We want to take a moment to cover a specific part in your home’s furnace today: the heat exchanger. Your home’s heat exchanger is a vital part of your home heating system, but few homeowners understand the importance of it. We’re going to simplify this system for you today. If you ever need furnace repair in Butler County, PA, make sure you contact our professionals. Knowing when to call for heating repair can help you catch these issues before they become dangerous.

What Are the Dangers of a Broken Heat Exchanger in Your Furnace?

  • When the heat exchanger cracks, it may allow carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless, and deadly gas—to leak into your home.
  • This component plays a critical role in transferring heat safely; once compromised, it poses severe health risks.
  • Regular professional furnace maintenance is the best way to catch cracks early and protect your household.
