you use the term wrong. BGA is the method on how the chip is soldered to the board.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_grid_array
on small chip like handphones you can use a heatgun. but for processor, YOU CAN'T use a heatgun for reballing process. (i dont think i need to go in details why)
*all electronics that is using BGA method is prone to broke by time. its part of big company biz plans so consumer would consume more of their product.
*the result is not the same as doing reflow, different types of solder is replaced. which is more tolerant to heat.
expect the lifespan more than 1 year.
*reballing is the ONLY method of processor repair that is suggested by microsoft, gigabyte and nvidia.

pretty sure you are not in hands on repairing line.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_grid_array

reballing the ball to the bga chip with hot air gun or blower is ok and very common among experienced technicians or engineers.
