When the condensate drain line freezes, the drainage path is blocked, causing the pressure switch to fault and shutting the furnace down. High-efficiency furnaces are especially vulnerable during sustained cold. Clearing and insulating the drain line restores operation and prevents recurrence.
Schedule annual fall maintenance, replace the filter regularly, and do not ignore new sounds or reduced heat output. For high-efficiency systems, have the condensate drain cleaned annually. Early attention to minor issues almost always prevents emergency calls during the coldest weeks.
