A HVAC system (10) employs a gas valve (20) to supply gas for combustion within a heating portion (12) of the system. An exhaust (22) removes combustion products using a motor (28) driven exhaust fan (24). An apparatus (34) controls combustion and uses a sensor (36) for sensing the rotational speed of a motor shaft (26). A switch (T1) is responsive to sensed motor speed to open and close the valve, the valve being opened only if the motor is operating within a predetermined speed range. A first speed discriminator (48A) enables of the switch to open the valve when the motor speed exceeds a first predetermined value. A second speed discriminator (48B) disables the switch to close the valve when motor speed exceeds a second and higher predetermined speed which is indicative of a blocked exhaust, or a fan blade is loose. This latter action insures that a build-up of potentially dangerous exhaust gases cannot occur.
