Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "limit switch" lockout, and why does it keep my furnace from turning back on?

A limit switch is a primary safety device that monitors the temperature inside the heat exchanger. If the furnace gets too hot—usually due to restricted airflow from a filthy filter or a failing blower motor—the switch snaps open and kills the gas valve to prevent the heat exchanger from cracking or causing a fire. Once this happens, the furnace enters a “lockout” mode. While cycling the power might temporarily reset it, the furnace will continue to shut down as an emergency precaution until the underlying airflow restriction is professionally resolved.

Why do I smell "rotten eggs" or a sharp metallic odor when the furnace kicks on?

A rotten egg smell is the chemical mercaptan added to natural gas, signaling a leak that requires an immediate shutdown of the gas main and an evacuation of the home. However, a sharp, ozone-like or “burning” metallic smell often points to an electrical emergency, such as a seized blower motor capacitor or wires melting due to high resistance. If you smell a faint “musty” or “dusty” odor only during the first run of the year, it is likely just dust burning off the heat exchanger; if that smell persists or turns acrid, it indicates a mechanical failure that could lead to a motor fire.

How can a clogged condensate line cause a high-efficiency furnace to stop heating?

Modern high-efficiency (90%+) furnaces produce water as a byproduct of the combustion process. This water must drain out of the unit through a small plastic line. If this line becomes clogged with algae or dust, or if the condensate pump fails, a safety float switch will trigger and immediately shut down the entire furnace to prevent water from backing up into the sensitive electronic “brain” (the integrated ignition module) or the combustion blower. If your furnace isn’t firing, checking for standing water in the drain pan is often the first step in an emergency diagnostic.
