Safe checks before calling

Confirm the thermostat is on, set correctly, and calling for heating or cooling.

Look around the outdoor unit for leaves, snow, ice, or other visible obstructions without opening the cabinet.
Take photos of the thermostat, outdoor unit, nameplate, and any visible flash pattern before scheduling service.

When to stop and call GreenFlow

Call GreenFlow if the code repeats, the system is locked out, heating or cooling is not restored, there is ice buildup, electrical odor, unusual noise, or any issue involving pressure switches, sensors, wiring, refrigerant, reversing-valve operation, or warranty coverage.
