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 working right 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 later.

Your furnace will communicate something’s wrong with a red flash from its indicator light, which it uses to show 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.

Estimated Repair Cost for Furnace Error Code 229

A blocked vent or a draft can also trigger the error, so your Levy & Son Service Expertsprofessional will look at other parts of your furnace first.

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

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