How a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Works

Two-stage furnaces have multiple 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 operating properly if your furnace inducer motor switches on in high speed and high ignition, then weakens and shifts into low-fire mode about 30 seconds after.

Your furnace will indicates 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 notice fast flashes or an alternating slow flash as it reports a fault code.
