A CO Alarm Means Leave the Home Immediately

Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless — if your detector alarms, treat it as a genuine emergency: evacuate immediately, call emergency services if anyone shows symptoms, and don't re-enter until it's confirmed safe.

Evacuate all occupants immediately upon a CO alarm.
Call 911 or emergency services if anyone is experiencing symptoms like headache, dizziness, or nausea.
Do not attempt to investigate the source yourself — wait for the all-clear from professionals.

Why Heat Exchangers Fail in Houston

What Contributes to Cracking

AGE

Natural metal fatigue

Heat exchangers crack from years of heating and cooling cycles.

INFREQUENT USE

Short season stress

Houston's brief heating season means fewer but potentially more stressful startup cycles.

MAINTENANCE GAPS

Deferred maintenance

Regular inspection catches developing cracks before they become dangerous.

MANUFACTURING

Original material quality

Some heat exchanger materials and designs are more crack-resistant than others.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How dangerous is a cracked heat exchanger really?

It's a genuine safety concern since it can allow carbon monoxide into your home's air supply — this should always be addressed immediately.

Can a cracked heat exchanger be repaired?

Typically no — a cracked heat exchanger is replaced rather than repaired, given the safety stakes.

How do you find cracks that aren't visible?

Combustion analysis and specialized inspection techniques can reveal issues not apparent through visual inspection alone.

Should I replace the exchanger or the whole furnace?

This depends on the furnace's age and condition — we'll give you an honest cost comparison for your specific situation.

How often should heat exchangers be inspected?

We recommend inspection as part of annual furnace maintenance, especially for furnaces over 10 years old.
