Controls vs safety - Key differences in function and expectations

In this episode, our host, Jamie Kitchen sits down with Jorg and John to unpack the real difference between pressure controls and pressure safety devices in HVACR. 

From fan cycling and pump-down controls to high-pressure cut-outs and manual resets, they share real-world stories from the field—what fails, why it fails, and how proper controls and safety can prevent expensive damage and dangerous situations. 

Perfect for technicians and engineers who want a clearer, practical understanding of how pressure switches really protect a system.
