Furnace Cleaning Technical Glossary
Understanding key industry terms helps you make informed decisions.
Heat Exchanger
The metal component that transfers heat from combustion gases to your home's air. A cracked heat exchanger is a carbon monoxide hazard.
AFUE
Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency — a percentage rating of how efficiently a furnace converts fuel to heat. Modern furnaces range from 80% to 98% AFUE.
Draft Inducer
A fan motor that pulls combustion gases through the heat exchanger and out the flue. A failing inducer is a common furnace no-start cause.
Limit Switch
A safety device that shuts off the furnace if it overheats. A tripped limit switch often indicates a clogged filter or airflow problem.
Combustion Analysis
A test using a probe inserted into the flue to measure the efficiency and safety of the furnace's combustion process.
