The Heart of Your Heating and Cooling System

As a trusted HVAC service provider since 1953, Wighton’s has seen the evolution of heating and cooling technology firsthand. One of the most critical components in modern HVAC systems is the heat exchanger, which plays a vital role in both heating and cooling operations.

What Is a Heat Exchanger?

A heat exchanger is a device that transfers thermal energy between two fluids without allowing them to mix. In HVAC systems, this component is essential for:

  • Efficient heat transfer in furnaces
  • Temperature regulation in air conditioning units
  • Energy conservation throughout the system
  • Safe operation of heating equipment

Why Maintenance Matters

At Wighton’s, we’ve been serving the Central Coast communities of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Pismo Beach, and surrounding areas for over 68 years. Our experience has taught us that regular heat exchanger maintenance is crucial for:

  • Preventing carbon monoxide leaks

  • Extending equipment lifespan
  • Ensuring optimal performance

Professional Inspection and Service

Our certified technicians recommend annual inspections of your heat exchanger to ensure safe and efficient operation. Signs that your heat exchanger might need attention include:

  • Unusual odors during operation

  • Decreased heating efficiency
  • Higher than normal utility bills
