Will replacing the heat exchanger prolong the life of your furnace?
The heat exchanger in a furnace is the primary component in a furnace. That said, their are circuit boards, motors and other components that can also fail regardless of the age of the heat exchanger. In my opinion, if you can afford to replace the furnace, you would be much better off. The cost of the heat exchanger with labor is probably not too much less than replacing the entire furnace.
What is the average life expectancy of a mid-efficiency furnace?
15 years
Why nothing comes out of home vents when air is turned on?
IF BLOWER MOTER IS RUNNING CHECK FOR PLUGGED: FILTER BLOWER WHEEL OR MOST LIKELY (IF A 90+ FURNACE) THE SECONDARY HEAT EXCHANGER lc
Which is more efficient a wood stove or a high efficiency furnace?
depends on whether you have to pay for the wood... if the wood is free then you can't beat the costs.
Is a heat exchanger the same as having a furnace?
Heat exchangers are not indentical to furnaces. However, they do serve a similar purpose. Both heat exchangers and furnaces serve important individual purposes. They also aee ulilitzed for different devices.

What are other critical parts of a high efficiency furnace exclude the heat exchanger?
All the parts are critical, each part depends on the other part to operate efficiently and safely.
What is a furnace with a horizontal heat exchanger called?
air handler
How can a furnace be 500 percent efficient?
furnace highest rating is 97 % efficient for a residential model. This is known as a condensing furnace.
When a gas furnace ignites and is under full-fire why does the fan not come on immediately?
The fan delay is designed to allow the heat exchanger to warm up before the fan blows air into the ducts. This helps increase efficiency and prevents cool air from being circulated initially. Once the heat exchanger reaches the set temperature, the fan will turn on to distribute warm air throughout the home.
A typical induced draft furnace uses a blower off delay in cooling mode why?
increase the efficiency of the system
How do you plumb a water line to a coal furnace to preheat the water prior to going into a electric hot water heater?
Is the furnace a hydroponic system? If it is you only need to get a heat exchanger (As you don't want the water to your heater flowing through the furnace) and plumb it as another zone in your house. If not you need to find a device for heating water that fits your furnace. and plumb the heat exchanger to that. I believe an heat exchanger is required by code in either case.
Does a forced air furnace have a heat exchanger?
Yes,It depends if it is gas fired or electric.
How do replace a heat exchanger on a furnace?
Your really are better off replacing the whole unit, there was a reason for the heat exchanger to have cracked or malfunction, ether for age or or a mechanical anomaly , you may have not addressed, as of yet.
What is the efficiency of a luxaire pbnu ld16n080d furnace?
The efficiency of a Luxaire PBNU LD16N080D furnace is around 80% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency), which means it converts 80% of the fuel it consumes into heat for your home. This is a standard efficiency rating for many mid-range furnaces.
Is it dangerous to run a gas furnace without the blower motor working?
Yes, you can melt the heat exchanger and start a fire that way
Why blast furnace called as blast furnace?
Its because air is forced into the furnace to increase temperature. Steve.
