Safety switch in the attic.

What i was commenting on was the extension cord in the attic. This switch could be the problem. Electrical safety and unused attic wiring electrical question. There is a safety switch installed in the attic that you can engage that will cut the power to the lift in case you are going away for awhile or for whatever other reasons.

We see it happen in attics where someone was moving boxes in and out of an attic and bumped the unit or pan. Do not bypass the safety switch or you could have a huge water mess in your home. Luckily most hvac companies install a drain pan and float switch to help you avoid these sorts of problems. If they are clogged you then can try unclogging them yourself or place a phone call to an ac professional to come unclog your system s drains.

Just an fyi my installers charged me 500 00 which i thought was good considering the work that was needed. Even if the blower is in a utility closet or crawlspace the damage from a leak can be substantial. Wherever that extension cord is connected to power you could extend that circuit from there to the poe and then connect the poe. It is perfectly safe to install a switch in the attic.

Float switches are great and can save anyone the headache and expense of coming. If these items do not solve your problem call an hvac service professional to help.
