How a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Works

Two-stage furnaces have various pressure switches to allow the system to run at different speeds—and work more efficiently. These switches also make sure your furnace runs safely and vents extraneous gases from the heat exchanger.

What Happens When a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Doesn’t Work

Your low pressure switch may not be functioning properly if your furnace inducer motor switches on in high speed and high ignition, then loses speed and enters into low-fire mode about 30 seconds later.

Your HVAC will communicate something’s amiss with a red flash from its indicator light, which it uses to exhibit error codes. It has this red light to flash code, like Morse code.

You may see fast flashes or an alternating slow flash as it announces a fault code.
