Furnace Heat Exchanger Replacement Parts

The furnace heat exchanger is an essential component of any heating system. It transfers heat from the burner to the air circulating through your home, keeping your space warm efficiently while preventing combustion gases from mixing with indoor air.


There are different types of heat exchangers designed to meet the needs of various furnace systems. The cell heat exchanger uses multiple cells to maximize heat transfer while keeping combustion gases safely contained. The tube heat exchanger employs tubular passages to efficiently transfer heat and is commonly used in both gas and oil furnaces. The burner heat exchanger works directly with the furnace burner to ensure the heat generated is effectively transferred to the circulating air. For complete replacements, a heat exchanger assembly provides a full unit combining all necessary components to match specific furnace models. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of furnace heat exchangers are critical for both performance and safety.


At PartsHnC, we offer a comprehensive range of furnace heat exchanger parts, including gas furnace heat exchangers, heat exchanger baffles, heat exchanger flange gaskets, and more options from top brands Rheem-Ruud, Carrier, and York.

FAQs

What causes a furnace heat exchanger to crack?

Cracks are commonly caused by thermal stress from repeated heating and cooling cycles, corrosion, or manufacturing flaws. High operational temperatures may also contribute.

Is it safe to use a furnace with a damaged heat exchanger?

No. A faulty heat exchanger can emit carbon monoxide, a hazardous and potentially fatal gas. Immediate inspection and replacement are required.

What maintenance can extend the life of a furnace heat exchanger?

Regular cleaning, air filter replacement, annual HVAC inspections, and furnace maintenance can help avoid corrosion, cracks, and premature failure.

Are all furnace heat exchangers the same size?

No, heat exchangers vary by furnace brand, model, and fuel type. Always ensure you get the correct replacement part for your specific system.
