What
is a heat exchanger? The heat exchanger is one of the most
important components in your furnace. It’s what creates warm air.
Every time your furnace turns on, the heat exchanger becomes red hot
and expands. Over its lifetime, the heat exchanger expands and
contracts thousands of times, and eventually it can crack. Also,
condensation exhaust from the furnace may collect, causing severe
rusting and holes in your heat exchanger over time.
When a heat exchanger fails, it can emit the poisonous gas carbon monoxide. When cracks or holes form in a heat exchanger, it may release carbon monoxide, a deadly poisonous gas, into a home. Carbon Monoxide is a poisonous gas often referred to as a silent killer, and for good reason. It’s odorless and tasteless. When it’s released into the air, homeowners often can’t tell. Thousands of people across the country become sick from carbon monoxide each year, and tragically, hundreds will die from it.
Did you know that carbon monoxide detectors often do not sound the alarm until the carbon monoxide levels are so high that you that you could die before the alarm goes off? We would rather you be safe than sorry, so please call 515-564-2665 today.
Our
highly trained technicians will use an infrared inspection camera
(the same device used for nuclear weapon inspections) to determine
if your furnace is safe. Service Legends is the only heating and
cooling contractor in the Des Moines and central Iowa area that uses
an infrared inspection camera to get deep into the inside of the
heat exchanger and view both the inside and outside of it on a
television-type screen.
We offer a complete safety inspection of your furnace for only $59.
Schedule an appointment online or call 515-564-2665, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we will be happy to assist you.
