WHAT IS A CRACKED HEAT EXCHANGER?

All gas furnaces have a primary and secondary heat exchanger. The flame is pulled through these tubes by the venter motor and in turn the flue gasses are forced outside through the venting.

When you have a cracked heat exchanger the flue gasses will escape into your duct work and are distributed throughout your home by your furnace fan via your duct work. This will distribute Carbon Monoxide throughout your home and is a major risk to you and your family because.

This is why CO detectors are so important! Keep them in every bedroom and keep your CO detectors in good condition and change your batteries annually.
