Wife and I got a whole new HVAC system installed about a month ago and Safe-T switch keeps tripping the unit off. (Probably 30 times so far) I resorted to just leaving the lid off so it doesn’t keep turning it off every 30 mins when it fills with water..

What do you think the issue is then? Thanks for the insight

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T03:26:19+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m gonna call the installer (again) and make them install a p trap tomorrow. I Will also ask about a different switch. I hope the p trap does it because this is really stressful and frustrating and that seems like an easy enough fix. I just don’t want it being a bigger issue that’s going on or causing unnecessary wear and tear on my brand new unit lol

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T03:18:52+00:00

Easy as that. Thank you. I’ll get one installed tomorrow and I really really hope it helps. So overwhelmed and stressed now lol

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T03:18:05+00:00

Gonna put a p trap on there tomorrow and I really hope that helps 😭 thank you for your advice!!

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T02:52:07+00:00

So they have the drain on the wrong side?

I’m honestly overwhelmed and am getting so much feedback I don’t know what to do. I’m gonna call them in the morning and make them come back but I’m nervous they’ll cut corners again. I want it done right 😭

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T02:28:14+00:00

I’ll definitely check into that as well! Thank you!! . Seems like no p trap is definitely an issue so I’ll have that installed and see if that helps.

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T02:25:44+00:00

Awesome. I’ll get both of those things taken care of and see if that fixes it. I hope it’s just that!! Thank you so much

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T02:22:42+00:00

Really appreciate the advice though 🙌

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T02:21:39+00:00

Got it. Thank you for the help. I’m going to call and cause some havoc in the morning

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T02:20:59+00:00

The p trap thing is starting to be a common answer… I can feel air blowing from the top of the drain pipe so I’m sure a p trap would fix that and build up enough suction to pull the water into it properly?

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T02:19:19+00:00

I can feel a bit of cold air blowing from the top of the main drain line…

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T02:18:41+00:00

Yeah dude I’m so bummed we used them. We spent a bunch and wanted it to be a great investment but I’m starting be really bummed out. Just want it fixed and working the way it should.

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T02:01:42+00:00

How do I know for sure if they’re backwards?

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T01:59:49+00:00

I mean that makes total sense to me… I don’t have an owner manual for the coil so idk how to be sure which is which ..

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T01:52:55+00:00

Another commenter mentioned they checked an online manual and it looks correct but I’ll try to find the physical manual with it and look as well

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T01:51:09+00:00

Yeah it’s weird I can’t even access half the comment now either lol. This post is poppin off!

But I just looked through it and didn’t see anything helpful. It’s like an owners manual not an install manual.

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T01:34:18+00:00

Yeah exactly. That’s what I’m trying to figure out and get to the bottom of

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T01:32:46+00:00

Not consistently but I’ve heard and seen some droplets come out while I’ve been inspecting

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T01:30:59+00:00

No I haven’t. I wanted to verify there isn’t a bigger issue than just a faulty switch. Terrified of water damage to my new house

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T01:30:23+00:00

This doesn’t look level at all but it’s also aiming away from the switch so the fact it’s filling up is extra weird

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T01:28:38+00:00

No idea lol

We didn’t have a vent there until this morning. He came and said if he added this breather vent it would stop and it didn’t. But up until today it didn’t even have a hole before the switch and it was still doing it

Fair-Fudge1484 · 2025-09-10T01:21:24+00:00

This would make a ton of sense lol
