Questions people ask about Simultaneous SLOW Flash (Green/Red)

What does Simultaneous SLOW Flash (Green/Red) mean on a Lennox heat_pump?
This pattern means the heat pump is operating normally or is in standby mode. Both the green and red LEDs flashing slowly at the same time is a status indicator, not a fault code. No diagnostic action or repair is required when this pattern appears.
Is it safe to run my Lennox heat pump when both LEDs are flashing slowly?
Yes, this condition is completely safe. The simultaneous slow flash pattern is the normal operating and standby indicator, meaning the control board has detected no fault conditions. You can continue using the system as normal.
How much does it cost to repair the issue causing this light pattern on a Lennox heat pump?
No repair cost applies to this condition because it is not a fault. If a technician visit is needed to confirm system operation or investigate a separate concern such as insufficient heating or cooling performance, typical diagnostic service call fees can range from $75 to $150 depending on your region and service provider.
Do I need to fix anything when I see this light pattern on my Lennox heat pump?
No repairs are needed. The simultaneous slow flash of the green and red LEDs confirms the system is healthy. If your heat pump is not heating or cooling despite this status display, the issue is likely with the thermostat settings or thermostat connection rather than the heat pump itself.
Will resetting my Lennox heat pump clear this light pattern?
A reset is not necessary and will not change the underlying status, since this pattern indicates normal operation rather than a fault. After a reset, the control board will return to displaying this same pattern once it completes its startup sequence, assuming no actual faults are present.
