Did the home owner remove the pressure switch? I can't believe a tech would do that.

Home owner did it, said it's ran fine like that for awhile. Couldn't get through to him how unsafe it is. Knew everything.

How does this even work? Doesn't the logic in most systems check to see that pressure switches are open at the beginning a cycle and then closed after at some point after the inducer is energized???

You're giving these units too much credit, they aren't that smart. Originally Posted by hurtinhvac
