Durham Region Air Conditioning Repair, Service and Installation
The flashing LEDs on your furnace will correspond to a specific fault code that is shown here on their diagnostic chart.
Founded in 1874, YORK has been an industry leader since the beginning. A revolutionary YORK "air washing" system installed in 1914 was the precursor to modern-day air conditioning. In 1924, the world's first air-conditioned office building used YORK equipment. And today, YORK products are heating and cooling iconic structures, including the Empire State Building, the English Chunnel, the U.S. Capitol Building and the Sydney Opera House.
York Furnace error codes are seen in three colors, red, green, and amber/yellow. Each color will also flash a specific number of times to signify a specific error. Breaking down each color, and number of flashes, will help you solve the problem you are having with your York Furnace.

I called Twin Tech when my air conditioning stopped working. Greg came over to diagnose the issue - the same day. He was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it quite quickly. Although it was a quick fix, Greg was very thorough in explaining the issue and provided great advice. Not to mention, I felt very comfortable having Greg in my home - which I consider very important when hiring a service provider. Twin Tech will be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!
