Exceptional Repair Work That Delivers Comfort and Reliability
When it comes to HVAC services in Montréal, AirGreen stands out for our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction. Recently, we had the opportunity to service a TOSOT central heat pump, and it was a repair job that not only restored the machine's efficiency but also highlighted the trust our customers place in us. This particular service call took us to a charming residential neighborhood in Montréal, where a homeowner was facing issues with their central heat pump system.
Addressing the Problem: What Went Wrong?
The call came in on a brisk morning, with the homeowner expressing concerns about inconsistent heating throughout the house. Central heat pumps are designed to maintain even temperatures across all rooms, but this TOSOT unit had begun to struggle, leaving some areas noticeably cooler than others. Upon arrival, our technicians conducted a thorough inspection of the entire system, from the outdoor unit to the ductwork, ensuring that every potential issue was assessed. The problem was traced to a refrigerant leak and a clogged condenser coil, which were compromising the system's efficiency.
Our Repair Process: Bringing the TOSOT Heat Pump Back to Life
At AirGreen, we believe in going beyond the basics to provide the most comprehensive service possible. This repair involved several key steps to restore the TOSOT central heat pump to its optimal state:
-
Refrigerant Leak Detection and Repair: Using advanced tools, our technicians pinpointed the source of the leak in the refrigerant lines. This step was crucial to prevent further damage and to ensure the heat pump could maintain its heating capacity. We sealed the leak and replenished the refrigerant to the manufacturer's specifications.
-
Cleaning the Condenser Coil: The clogged condenser coil was significantly impairing the system's performance. We performed a deep cleaning to remove dirt, debris, and any buildup that was obstructing airflow. This process not only improved the system's efficiency but also extended its lifespan.
-
Testing the Electrical Components: During the inspection, our technicians tested the electrical connections, capacitors, and contactors to ensure there were no faults that could cause future issues. Regular wear and tear on electrical components can lead to malfunctions if not addressed promptly.
-
System Calibration and Performance Testing: Once the repairs were completed, we calibrated the system to operate at peak performance. We tested the heat pump's functionality in various modes (heating, cooling, and fan) to guarantee consistent comfort for the homeowner.
A Customer-Focused Approach
Our commitment to customer satisfaction goes beyond simply fixing the problem. We provided the homeowner with a detailed explanation of the repairs, outlining the steps taken and offering tips for routine maintenance. Additionally, we assured the customer that if future issues arose with the unit, our team would be readily available for support. AirGreen's no-charge policy for service calls when a customer proceeds with a new installation is part of our promise to deliver value. The homeowner was thrilled with our transparent approach and the efficient turnaround time, expressing gratitude for the prompt and professional service.

Central heat pumps, like the one we serviced, offer an energy-efficient solution for year-round comfort. TOSOT, known for its reliability and advanced technology, manufactures heat pumps that can handle Montréal's harsh winter temperatures and sweltering summer days. The system’s ability to both heat and cool a home provides versatility that is ideal for the varied climate in the area. When functioning optimally, these units can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs by operating with high seasonal energy efficiency ratios (SEER).
Features of TOSOT Central Heat Pumps:
- High Energy Efficiency: Equipped with modern inverter technology, TOSOT central heat pumps can adjust compressor speed according to heating or cooling demand, saving energy.
- Quiet Operation: TOSOT systems are designed to operate quietly, ensuring minimal disturbance even during peak operation.
- Durability and Reliability: Built to withstand challenging conditions, TOSOT heat pumps come with sturdy components that reduce the need for frequent repairs.
Preventive Maintenance: The Key to Long-Lasting HVAC Performance
To keep central heat pumps operating at peak performance, regular preventive maintenance is essential. We recommended the homeowner sign up for our annual maintenance plan, which includes:
- Seasonal Tune-Ups: Ensuring the system is prepared for the upcoming season, whether it’s heating or cooling.
- Filter Replacements: Clean filters improve airflow and system efficiency, preventing strain on the heat pump.
- Thermostat Calibration: Checking that the thermostat is accurately measuring temperature and functioning correctly.
- Inspecting Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant levels can indicate a leak and reduce system efficiency.
