Safety note

What is safe to check before service

These pages are meant to help document the issue, not replace diagnosis. GreenFlow should handle pressure-switch, electrical, refrigerant, lockout, recurring, and warranty-related conditions.

Safe visible checks

  • Thermostat display and settings
  • Filter condition and return-air path
  • Visible outdoor-unit obstruction
  • Photos of the code, unit, and nameplate

Stop and call

  • Repeated lockouts or recurring faults
  • Pressure-switch or sensor faults
  • Electrical odor, unusual noise, or ice buildup
  • Any sealed cabinet, refrigerant, gas, or warranty issue
