Responded to a service call from a customer in Elkins Park, PA 19027, whose recently installed HVAC system triggered a ‘service urgent’ alert on the thermostat for the GF low-pressure switch open, code 272. The unit was running but not producing heat and making unusual noises, with intermittent issues over the past few weeks. During the inspection, we found water collected around the inducer motor. We removed, drained, and cleaned the condensation line to restore proper operation. We also discovered the blower wheel was unbalanced due to a piece of paper and insulation that had entered the unit during a recent duct cleaning by another company, causing the shaking. After removing the debris and properly balancing the blower, the system started operating normally. Addressing these issues promptly prevented potential damage to the blower motor and wheel, and the HVAC is now heating safely and efficiently for the home.
