Heat Exchanger Repair Questions
How do I know if my heat exchanger needs repair versus replacement?
Several factors determine repair viability including damage extent, unit age, replacement lead time, and repair cost relative to new equipment pricing. Generally, if repair costs exceed 50-60% of replacement cost for an older unit, replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair heat exchangers made from stainless steel or exotic alloys?
Yes. Our welding capabilities include stainless steel, aluminum, and various alloys used in heat exchanger construction. We match filler materials and welding procedures to base metal requirements.
How long does heat exchanger repair typically take?
Repair timelines depend on damage extent and parts availability. Simple gasket replacements may complete in one to two days. More involved repairs requiring welding or machining may take one to two weeks.
Do you offer emergency heat exchanger repair services?
We understand that heat exchanger failures can halt operations. While we do not offer after-hours emergency service, we prioritize urgent repairs during business hours. To discuss expedited repair options and schedule your service promptly, contact us early in the day.
