How a Low Pressure Switch Works

Pressure switches are a necessary part of the heating operation.

Here’s how your furnace works after the thermostat begins to call for heat:

• Your furnace’s control board begins the draft inducer blower motor. This gets rid of combustion gases from the heat exchanger and brings in new gas and air so the burners can ignite.
• When the pressure switch senses that a suitable amount of air is being brought into the burners, it closes and triggers the control board to ignite the furnace.
• Your furnace ignites and heats your home.

A two-stage furnace has more than one pressure switches, which allow it to run at different speeds—and use energy more efficiently.

What Happens When a Low Pressure Switch Acts Up

The low pressure switch may be open for several reasons.

There could be a:

• Blocked vent
• Stopped condensate drain
• Cracked hose

There could also be a problem with the switch itself, the inducer or the circuit board.

Your furnace will tell you there’s something wrong with a red flash from its indicator light, which it uses to feature error codes. It has this red light to flash code, like Morse code.

You might observe fast flashes or an alternating slow flash as it replays a fault code.
