4 common furnace mistakes: registers

admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:58:59 +0000

in the past, many property owners would close off vents in various rooms of the house in order to direct all of the heat to one region and to save coin. nowadays, many people are still doing this, but does this practice still save coin? if you use a forced air furnace in your house, you may be making some very serious mistakes when it comes to the supply and return registers that your furnace uses.

1. only closing off the supply register- a supply register is the exactly what the name suggests. it supplies heat to the rooms in your house. the return register is the vent that pulls air in and sends it back to the furnace. when closing off registers in the house, a common mistake made is when the property owner only closes the supply register to the room and leaves the return register uncovered.

in today’s modern well-insulated homes, this causes that room to have negative pressure. what will happen is the furnace will suck cold air into the return vent from any crevises that make exist. most commonly these are found around windows, wall joints, and outlets. all of the added cold air in the system causes the furnace to run for longer periods of time. so instead of saving energy, you loose energy and coin.

2. closing registers without sealing duct effort: gaps and leaks in duct effort systems cause energy loose even in a house with all of the registers open, but when you close a register, the problem becomes much worse. when you close off a vent to a certain room or floor in the house, there is added pressure inside the duct effort. the air that flows through the duct effort is now moving with more force than it was with the vents open. when this fast moving air encounters a leak, it escapes in grand quantities causing heat loss and decreased air movement to the rooms in the house.

3. closing more than 60% of registers: your furnace was implemented to heat the entire house. when you close more than 60% of the registers, the furnace won’t be able to get enough air for proper set on fire and it won’t have enough area to distribute all of the heat that it is creating. when this happens, the furnace will overheat or operate on the high limit switch. in no time at all you could cause damage to the furnace that will cost hundreds to correction and drastically shorten the lifespan of the unit.

4. furniture blocking registers: do you have an airflow problem in your house? before you start closing registers in an attempt to force more air into the rooms that need increase airflow, review the furniture placement. many property owners don’t realize that their airflow problems are caused by a couch, a chair, or even a curtain that is blocking the register from distributing air properly. adjust the furniture in the house so that the registers have more than enough room to circulate air in the room.

before closing any registers, you need to consult a skilled correction technician. there are several factors that need to be taken into account before you ever close off a room. if you don’t consult a skilled first, you could end up wasting more coin on your energy bills and cause major damage to the furnace unit. if you are looking to save coin, the technician may be able to find you a few places around the house where you can make changes without putting the furnace or your wallet in jeopardy.

understanding your heat exchanger

admin — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:58:17 +0000

the heat exchanger is the core of a house furnace system. whether it is a furnace or boiler, the heat exchanger is one part of the unit that cannot be ignored in regards to routine repair and efficiency. to do so may be deadly. so whether your unit has recently been diagnosed with a bad heat exchanger, or if you are just curious as to what your heat exchanger does, hopefully this will clarify your understanding of this vital component to your furnace system.

for starters

what is a heat exchanger? in a furnace or boiler, gas is injected into the system where it travels to the burners to be ignited. the heat created by the ignition is transferred to the heat exchanger. a heat exchanger has two sides. for both a furnace and a boiler there is a fire side. this is the side directly in contact with the burners. here, the heat exchanger is heated, and then it begins to distribute the heat to the other side. this side is in contact with the air, or water in the case of a boiler. the heated air, or water, is then sent throughout the house, while the hazerdous set on fire products are securely directed outside the house.

the afue

the heat exchanger plays a big role in the efficiency of the unit. every unit is required to meet a certain annual fuel utilization efficiency rating, afue, that is set by the government. this is a percentage rating based on the annual amount of heat created by the unit to hot your house compared to the annual amount of gas used by the unit. the higher the percentage, the more effective the unit. the more effective the unit the more coin you could potentially save. the efficiency of the heat exchanger helps determine how much of the gas the unit is actually turning into heat for the house. if your heat exchanger is in poor condition, chances are your unit isn’t meeting its highest efficiency.
in order to ensure that the unit is running in optimal condition, it is critical to have the unit cleaned and tuned up yearly. this will ensure that any potential issues are caught early on before they lead to devastating damage to the unit. damage to a heat exchanger can include rust, corrosion, crevises, holes, clogs and leaks. these may sound like easy cosmetic issues, but in reality these can lead to some very serious consequences.

problems?

a furnace that has been diagnosed with a bad heat exchanger will be shut down and deemed nonoperational by any licensed service tech. a heat exchanger with a hole or crack allows the unit to leak set on fire gases into the air that is being heated. this air is then pumped throughout the house, which releases the gases into your air supply. the most hazerdous of these gases is co or carbon monoxide (co). if carbon monoxide (co) is allowed to build up in the house, it can potentially kill anyone who is breathing it in. however, consequences like this can be avoided.

what should you do?

besides doing yearly routine repair, there are a couple other checks property owners can make. to prevent clogging, the unit needs to be cleaned to prevent a soot buildup on the fire side of the heat exchanger. to prevent rust and corrosion, property owners should make sure that the unit is housed in a dry environment. damp or moist conditions can speed the rate of rust accumulation on the heat exchanger. for boiler systems specifically, property owners should not drain the unit during the summer months or flush the system yearly. when the system is emptied, the heat exchanger, and the entire unit, is exposed to fresh oxygen which speeds the rate of rust development. water should be left in the system annually after annually. when it comes to crevises and leaks, boilers can be checked by simply looking for any leaking water coming off the main unit. for heating system things are not as easy. most heat exchangers are hidden from view by the burners, and therefore are best reviewed by a trained skilled. they may use mirrors to see in smaller places, or the burners may be removed in order to pull the heat exchanger out for a more thorough review. unfortunately a damaged heat exchanger means that the unit is going to have to be replaced. there are some cases where it is possible to just replace the heat exchanger, but this is usually done when the defect in the heat exchanger is caused by a manufacturing flaw. otherwise, this correction can often be as costly as a replacement unit.

the heat exchanger is of vital importance to the security and efficiency of the unit. routine checks and routine repair are crucial to keeping it in working order. if neglected, it may cost you more then just the cost of a new unit.
