I discovered that my Heating device has a shut-off switch

Did you know that your Heating & A/C unit has an on/off shut-off switch? All these years, I have always had a Heating & A/C unit inside my home or home & never knew about it. I always assumed that the shut-off switch was at the breaker, but there is another switch that is next to the unit itself. The shut-off switch for my Heating & A/C unit is next to the condenser outside. I have always seen the small box on the wall next to the condenser unit, but I have never looked inside or have I ever inquired about it. Plus, I usually leave all the outdoor service to my Heating & A/C serviceman, & he has never mentioned the shut-off switch to me. It is pressing to know where the shut-off switch is in case you need to shut down the power to the outdoor condenser, the air handler and the other components of the Heating & A/C unit. In addition to the shut-off switch, the breaker is another way to fully chop the power to the Heating & A/C unit. I don’t anticipate using either switch any time in the near future, let’s face it, I have never had a need to fully chop the power to my Heating & A/C unit. Although, I don’t believe I will be using either switch, it is wonderful to know where they are just in case. In my head, I would rather know where the switches are & not need to use them, than needing to use the switches & can’t find them; Makes logical sense to me. So, if you’re like me & don’t know where your Heating & A/C unit cut-off switch is, take some time to find out! You never know, you might need to use it at some point.
