What Is An "ECO" Switch ?

Jul 01, 2005 7 Replies

Came across the term "ECO" switch while reading up on furnace controls. Web search doesn't provid the answer, or one I coulds find.



Anyone know what ECO stands for, and what type of switch it presumably is ?



Thanks, B.


Energy Cutoff Device - Safety device no doubt..

Economy mode? Maybe with it off the fan is on full time? I really don't know.

I'll bet you would have a better chance of getting a good answer if you tell us what make model and year furnace you are looking at and does it have an A/C included?

Hi Robert11, hope you are having a nice day

it stands for Emergency Cut Off. it is a safety device. it can be a hood spillover or a high temp safety.

Or maybe if you actually knew what he was talking about.

You are quite welcome. If you would stop trying to answer these questions I would be a lot more polite But you insist on giving out the wrong answers again and again

If you don't know, then why even add a post?
