How a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Works

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

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

Your low pressure switch may not be functioning correctly if your furnace inducer motor begins in high speed and high ignition, then loses speed and changes into low-fire mode about 30 seconds afterward.

Your furnace will demonstrate 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 observe fast flashes or an alternating slow flash as it announces a fault code.

Estimated Repair Cost for Furnace Error Code 229

A blocked vent or a draft can also generate the error, so your Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbingprofessional will check other parts of your furnace first.

The cost to fix your furnace hinges on what’s wrong with it and how long it takes to remedy it.

You can expect to pay between $40 and $350 if you need a new low-fire pressure switch.
