Claim 10:
11. A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
a heating component configured to heat an airflow directed through the HVAC system;
a sensor configured to detect an operating parameter of the airflow directed through the HVAC system and to emit a signal indicative of the operating parameter of the airflow;
a switch or valve configured to limit a flow of electricity or fuel to the heating component; and
a controller configured to:
receive the signal indicative of the operating parameter of the airflow;
compare the signal indicative of the operating parameter of the airflow to a threshold value; and
actuate the switch or valve to limit the flow of the electricity or fuel to the heating component based on comparison of the signal indicative of the operating parameter of the airflow to the threshold value, wherein the operating parameter is an amount of the airflow directed through the HVAC system.
