Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Exchanger Services
Do heat exchangers require servicing?
Absolutely. Heat exchangers are critical components of your HVAC system, and regular servicing is essential for optimal performance. A lack of maintenance can lead to inefficiencies, reduced heat transfer rates, and even system failures. At North Road Service Center, we offer comprehensive heat exchanger services to ensure your system is always running at its best.
How often should heat exchangers be serviced?
The frequency of heat exchanger servicing can depend on various factors such as the environment, usage, and industry requirements. However, as a general guideline, we recommend servicing your heat exchanger at least once every six months to a year. Regular maintenance ensures that your system operates efficiently and extends its lifespan.
How long is the life span of a heat exchanger?
The lifespan of a heat exchanger can vary widely depending on its make, model, and operating conditions. However, with proper care and maintenance, a good quality heat exchanger can last up to 10-20 years. Regular servicing by certified technicians like those at North Road Service Center can even extend the operational life of your heat exchanger.
What are the common failures in heat exchangers?
Common failures in heat exchangers include corrosion, fouling, thermal fatigue, and mechanical failures like cracks or leaks. These issues can often be prevented or mitigated through regular maintenance services. North Road Service Center’s extensive heat exchanger services include inspections for such common issues and appropriate solutions to address them.
Are heat exchangers repairable?
Yes, most heat exchangers are repairable, especially if issues are caught early. At North Road Service Center, we offer repair services that include everything from gasket replacement to resolving mechanical failures. However, if the heat exchanger is too old or the damage too extensive, replacement might be a more cost-effective solution.
How do you clean and maintain a heat exchanger?
At North Road Service Center, our cleaning and maintenance process is meticulous. We start by recording customer information, plate count, and gasket type. Old gaskets are removed, and plates are pre-washed, dipped in a hot caustic bath, and power-washed. Further cleaning steps include an acid dip and manual cleaning.
