Safe checks before calling

  • Check filters, return-air grilles, supply registers, and visible airflow paths that can be reached without opening equipment panels.
  • Look for visible outdoor-unit or rooftop obstructions, debris, snow, ice, or blocked clearances from a safe location only.
  • Take photos of the displayed code or LED pattern, equipment nameplate, thermostat or controller, and the surrounding equipment area before scheduling service.

When to stop and call GreenFlow

Call GreenFlow if the code repeats, the unit is locked out, heating or cooling is not restored, there is flame, gas, electrical, refrigerant, pressure, compressor, fan-motor, rooftop-access, or warranty-related concern, or any troubleshooting would require opening equipment panels.

Share the visible code, model and serial number if available, photos, current symptoms, and whether the issue affects heating, cooling, or both.
