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 called Green Flow Solutions in a hurry to diagnose and fix an AC unit in a commercial condo unit. They responded quickly, arrived urgently and performed an excellent job on the repair needed.

We were very happy with our experience with Green Flow Solution. After our hot water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced, they were able to install a new one the same day. They were professional and thorough. Thank you!

I had an excellent experience with Green Flow, they were available to replace my dead central A/C unit on a short notice, and the price was thousands of dollars less than what I got quoted by two other companies. I would definitely use them again.
