    Owner denied warranty for being outside OCI by 600 miles and short tripping.

    "mini rant" regarding furnace issues/HVAC companies....

    Coupla things, first, under no circumstances should a pressure switch or any other safety be bypassed or jumped out. Second the service tech is only as good as his/her training and diagnostics ability. Maybe check with the BBB when things are going sideways.
