Safe checks before calling

  • Confirm the thermostat is on, set correctly, and calling for heating or cooling.
  • Check the air filter and visible return-air path for obvious airflow restrictions.
  • 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.

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

I honestly can't believe my experience with Green Flow. I submitted a request for help through Thumbtack and Hannah called me literally a minute later to schedule an appointment. Thirty minutes after that, Andree was at my place doing A/C repair and furnace service. One hour after that,...

Megan S.

Great service - my air conditioning failed after hours on a Sunday. I could schedule the appointment online for Monday morning and the technician quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Super helpful- will use them again!

Tom T.

Fantastic job by Green Flow. Andrey, Andrei and Yuri were punctual, very neat, capable, and meticulous in replacing two complete HVAC systems and ductwork repairs in our home. They will now be our go to service for all our HVAC needs going forward.
