I am not sure about FL but switches to cut off the system when the condensate line is clogged (via a float and switch) have been code in GA for at least 15 years.

So, if you have an older furnace that does not already have one of these, you will have to do both plumbing with the drain line and electrical work with the wiring diagram of the circuit board.

In short, call Munn's or another HVAC place and have them do it right (probably using their own parts).

Are you absolutely certain that you do not have one already, hidden someplace on the furnace or on the drain pipe?? It would be two wires attached to something down by the drain pipe.
