How a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Works
Two-stage furnaces have multiple pressure switches to help the system to run at different speeds—and use less energy. These switches also guarantee 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 starts up in high speed and high ignition, then slows down and changes into low-fire mode about 30 seconds afterward.
Your HVAC will communicate something’s wrong 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 see fast flashes or an alternating slow flash as it announces a fault code.
