It is made of coiled tubes that contain the combustion gases that are necessary for the warming of cool air. Cool air flows over the heat exchanger and is warmed without direct contact with the combustion gases.<\/p>\n<p>The now warm air is then passed to the plenum, which then distributes the air all throughout the house. The combustion gases are then passed through a pipe that allows them to safely exit the house through a chimney.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Danger_of_a_Damaged_Heat_Exchanger\"><\/span>The Danger of a Damaged Heat Exchanger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-is-heat-exchanger-1-196x300.jpg\" alt=\"What is a Heat Exchanger\" width=\"196\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-is-heat-exchanger-1-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-is-heat-exchanger-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The heat exchanger plays an important role when it comes to heating up indoor air. However, it is important to note that heat exchangers usually hold a dangerous amount of combustion gases. When these gases are burned, they release substances, like carbon monoxide, that are harmful to the health of the home&rsquo;s occupants and can even be deadly.<\/p>\n<p>Heat exchangers, when working efficiently, should not leak any harmful substances. However, leakage can occur from the heat exchanger in a couple of ways. This may be a result of pressure problems, equipment failure, or chimney and vent problems. Additionally, a cracked heat exchanger is a common cause of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/carbon-monoxide-leaks-protect-your-family\/\">carbon monoxide leaks<\/a> that occurs as a result of improper maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>As the gases released from a cracked or damaged heat exchanger are colorless and odorless, leaks can be difficult to detect. Unless you are a qualified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/ask-an-hvac-technician\/\">HVAC technician<\/a>, it may not be possible to identify a heat exchanger problem. The easiest way to ensure your family is protected is to schedule regular HVAC maintenance and checks and by using a carbon monoxide detector. Should the detector go off, it is best to take care of the situation immediately rather than to ignore it. You should turn off all fuel-burning devices in this case and call an HVAC contractor immediately.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_Galmiche_Sons_for_More_on_Heat_Exchangers\"><\/span>Call Galmiche &amp; Sons for More on Heat Exchangers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A cracked or broken heat exchanger can be dangerous to your family.
