HOMEOWNER FAQS
Frequently asked questions
Does a cracked heat exchanger require attention?
Yes. Stop using equipment when a qualified professional identifies a condition that could release combustion gases. Ask for documentation and appropriate replacement options.
When should I replace instead of repair?
Consider safety, equipment age, repair frequency, part availability, comfort, efficiency, and the total installed replacement scope.
