How a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Works
Two-stage furnaces have multiple pressure switches to help the system to run at different speeds—and be more efficient. These switches also make sure your furnace runs safely and vents extraneous gases from the heat exchanger.
What Happens When a Low-Fire Pressure Switch Doesn’t Work
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 after.
Your system 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 observe fast flashes or an alternating slow flash as it reports a fault code.
Estimated Repair Cost for Furnace Error Code 229
A blocked vent or a draft can also trigger the error, so your Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning Expert will investigate other parts of your furnace first.
The price to fix your furnace hinges on what’s wrong with it and how long it takes to repair it.
