4 HVAC Troubleshooting Tips To Get To The Bottom Of Problems With Biomass Heat Exchange Systems

Biomass heat exchange systems have heat exchangers that are used to provide a more conventional forced-air heating design that can be used with existing air conditioning ducts. Therefore, when there is a problem with your system, you may want to know how to deal with the problems and troubleshoot issues. The following tips will help you with troubleshooting problems with biomass boilers and heat exchangers that provide the heating to your home: 

Problems with Leaking Pipe Fittings and Connections That Can Damage Electronics and Ductwork   

One of the first problems that you may have with your biomass heat exchange system is leaking pipes and fittings. This is often due to the connections to the exchanger that are located inside and near plenums and ductwork. This can cause damage to the ductwork that will need to be repaired to prevent damage to your home and improve the efficiency of your heating.  

Improper Connection of Heat Exchangers in Plenums That Cause the System to Not Heat Efficiently 

Another problem that you may have is the heat exchanger not being properly connected inside the plenum. This can be due to issues like DIY insulation and air leaks around the heat exchanger. Therefore, it is important to have the biomass heat exchanger professionally installed and have it looked at by an HVAC repair professional if there is not enough heat coming out of the vents throughout your home.  

Improper Temperature Settings That Reduce the Efficiency of Your Biomass Heat Exchange  

The temperature settings of your HVAC thermostat and boiler controls are important if you use a biomass heat exchange system. If the settings on the boiler are too low, the system will not heat your home properly, and if they are too high, it can be a danger because of the hot water of plumbing. You will want to also make sure that the temperature settings for the HVAC thermostat are set for winter heating.  

Boiler Problems That Cause Your Heat Exchanger to Not Get Thermal Energy That Is Needed to Heat Your Home  

The boilers that you use to heat your home may not get enough thermal energy to heat your home. This is something that may be due to the boiler temperatures being set wrong, the heat exchanger being undersized, or other errors with the design. To address these problems, contact an HVAC repair service to help with installing additional heat exchangers or making other changes to improve the design of your system to provide your home with efficient heating.  

These are some troubleshooting tips to help get to the bottom of problems with heat exchangers connected to biomass boilers. If you are having trouble with your heating and cannot get to the bottom of the problem, contact an HVAC repair service for help. Look for a local HVAC repair service to help you.
