Bad Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers are made of thin metal and are usually warrantied for 10 years.  Heat exchangers that are damaged are a source of carbon monoxide poisioning.  MSI pays extra close attention to these components as part of its inspection process. 

• Seventy percent of installed systems suffer from inadequate airflow. Improper airflow can result in equipment failure, high energy bills and poor comfort. MSI performs a complete load calculation in the design process of your system to ensure that your system has adequate airflow to avoid these problems.
• Improper refrigerant charging can lower efficiency by up to 20%. Our technicians are trained and epa certified and have refrigerant charging down to a science.
• Proper HVAC equipment size selection is imperative. Oversized equipment will increase your costs and reduce comfort.
• Building operation and maintenance programs specifically designed to enhance operating efficiency of HVAC systems can reduce energy bills by 20% to 50% without significant capital investment.
