American Standard heat pump showing code Red 1 Flash on the Outdoor unit (single/two-stage HP & AC control)? On the outdoor unit's diagnostic LED, one red flash indicates a communication error between the outdoor control board and the rest of the system (thermostat/indoor unit). The unit may not stage or run correctly until communication is restored. Here is what it means, what you can safely check, and when to call a licensed CANRO technician in a situation across Metro Vancouver.
What not to touch: beyond these checks, do not open the unit or touch the gas valve, wiring, control board or refrigerant lines. In BC, gas and HVAC repairs must be done by a licensed technician — both for your safety and to keep your manufacturer warranty valid.
