Vernon Marshall explains the role of low voltage wiring in HVAC systems, including thermostat wire colors, 24-volt controls, and how to use a multimeter to check for broken wires. This demonstration was part of the September–October 2026 HVAC Technical Academy workshop in Sanford, Florida.
Low Voltage Wiring
HVACTA: Andrew in Action
Today Andrew reviewed wiring… an important element in all HVAC systems. To break it down: HVAC low-voltage wiring typically operates on a 24-volt circuit supplied by a step-down transformer inside the furnace or air handler. It acts as the control system—or “messenger”—telling high-voltage relays when to turn the compressor, blower motor, or heating elements on and off.
