Durham Region Air Conditioning Repair, Service and Installation
The Payne gas furnace has built in diagnostics and is designed to assist with the identification and correction of faults. The furnace utilizes an LED, to describe its condition.This can be viewed through a port on the blower access panel. You can take corrective action in response to any faults indicated by the LED.
The number of short flashes of the LED represents the first digit of the two digit fault code. The number of long flashes of the LED represents the second digit of the fault code.
CODE: RED LED1 ON.
RESULT: Furnace is operating in emergency heat.
RESULT: Furnace is operating in emergency heat.
CODE: RED LED2 ON.
RESULT: The microprocessor has malfunctioned. To reset: Put setup switch "SW-1" in the "ON" position nad jumper thermostat terminals "R", "W/W1" and "Y/Y2" simultaneously with the door switch pushed in and power to the unit "ON". Disconnect jumper and place setup switch in the "OFF" position. If LED2 reappears, replace main control board.

My Fiancé and I have relied on Twintech Heating and Cooling now for the better part of the last 10 years. In that time, Greg has installed a furnace, an air conditioner, and a heat-pump at our residence in Toronto. In each instance Greg and his team were a pleasure to deal with. They were courteous and professional throughout the whole process and the quality of their work is first rate. Our experiences have always been extremely positive and we have referred his services numerous times to our friends and family. Without hesitation, I would recommend Greg and TwinTech Heating and Cooling to anyone looking to service or replace their existing heat/AC equipment
