Overview
A Honeywell pressure switch designed to sense proper vent draft in residential gas furnaces. When the inducer motor runs, this switch confirms negative pressure in the vent system before allowing the gas valve to open. It's a common failure point on furnaces 10+ years old, especially if the venting has accumulated debris or the switch diaphragm has stiffened with age.
Pros
- ✓ OEM-level quality from Honeywell, the standard in HVAC controls
- ✓ Direct replacement for many furnace models using -SET pressure switches
- ✓ Consistent pressure setpoint for reliable operation
- ✓ Includes the tubing connector and mounting bracket
Cons
- ✗ Pressure rating varies by model — must match your furnace spec exactly
- ✗ Some modern Honeywell switches have a shorter lifespan than older models
- ✗ Not a diagnostic tool — if the switch tests bad, check the venting first
Who It's For
Homeowners who have confirmed the pressure switch is failing (stuck open, intermittent operation) and need a direct replacement. Best paired with checking the vent pipe and inducer motor for blockages.
Who Should Skip This
If you haven't tested the pressure switch for proper operation with a manometer or multimeter, diagnose before buying. Also skip if the vent pipe is blocked — a new switch will fail too.
Compatibility
Most residential gas furnaces using Honeywell pressure switches (verify pressure rating before ordering)
