The Heart of Your Home’s Heating System
As a family-owned and veteran-owned business serving the Tri-State area, NexAir Home Services understands the importance of keeping West Virginia families warm and safe during our challenging winter months. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most crucial components of your home heating system: the heat exchanger.
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. It’s responsible for:
• Transferring heat from burning fuel to your indoor air
• Containing harmful combustion gases
• Maintaining system efficiency
• Ensuring safe operation of your furnace
Common Issues and Warning Signs
Regular maintenance is essential for preventing heat exchanger failures. Watch for these indicators:
• Unusual odors during operation
• Visible cracks or corrosion
• Strange sounds when the system starts
• Higher than normal utility bills
• Carbon monoxide detector alerts
