At my last house, I put a plug on the furnace and plugged it into an outlet I'd installed for that purpose. When I had my furnace replaced the installers had to remove that setup as it wasn't legal. I'm not sure what the rationale is for the illegality, but it is an easy modification to make.
Ditto...there was already an standard outlet there for the condensate pump...don't know why it has to be hardwired into a switch when installed...the switch already controls both outlets.
