How a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Works

Two-stage furnaces have various pressure switches to allow the system to run at different speeds—and use less energy. These switches also ensure your furnace runs safely and vents excess gases from the heat exchanger.

What Happens When a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Fails

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

Your furnace will communicate something’s not right with a red flash from its indicator light, which it uses to display error codes. It has this red light to flash code, like Morse code.

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