When it comes to providing exceptional HVAC services, we pride ourselves on offering fast, reliable, and customer-focused solutions. This recent service call in Montreal is a prime example of how we go above and beyond to meet our customers' needs.
The Problem: A Friedrich PTAC on the Fritz
Our team received a call from a concerned customer regarding a malfunctioning Friedrich PTAC (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner). These units are well-known for their robust performance, but even the best machines occasionally encounter issues. The customer, understandably frustrated, wasn’t sure whether the unit could be repaired or if it needed a complete replacement. They appreciated that we could visit on the same day, and they were intrigued by our unique policy: if we find the unit irreparable, the service call fee is credited toward the installation of a new machine.
Upon arrival, our technicians quickly assessed the PTAC, which was installed near a large window in a beautifully sunny apartment. The unit had stopped cooling effectively and was making an unusual clicking noise when powered on. It didn’t take long to identify the primary culprit: a worn-out fan motor and a clogged evaporator coil that was reducing airflow and causing the system to overheat.
Our Solution: Bringing the Friedrich PTAC Back to Life
With the problem pinpointed, our expert team got to work. Here’s how we resolved the issue:
-
Disassembly and Inspection
We carefully removed the PTAC from its mounting position to access the internal components. This step allowed us to thoroughly inspect not only the fan motor but also other critical components like the compressor, thermostat, and control board. -
Cleaning the Evaporator Coil
Years of dust and debris had built up on the coil, hindering the unit’s efficiency. Using specialized cleaning agents, we restored the coil to optimal condition, improving airflow and cooling capacity. -
Fan Motor Replacement
The worn-out fan motor was swapped with a brand-new Friedrich-compatible replacement. This part is crucial for circulating air efficiently, and the new motor immediately improved the unit’s performance. -
Electrical Component Check
We tested all electrical connections to ensure there were no short circuits or loose wiring. Our priority is always safety and reliability, and we take every precaution to prevent future issues. -
Final Calibration and Testing
Once reassembled, the PTAC was calibrated to ensure it was operating at peak efficiency. We ran the unit through several test cycles to confirm that the cooling and heating functions were back to normal.
The Outcome: A Thrilled Customer
The customer was delighted with the results. Not only was the Friedrich PTAC functioning like new, but they were also impressed by our professionalism and efficiency. They especially appreciated our transparent pricing and the reassurance that if the repair hadn’t been possible, the service call fee would have been credited toward a new installation. This approach gives peace of mind and demonstrates our commitment to customer satisfaction.
Why Friedrich PTACs are Worth Repairing
For those unfamiliar with PTAC systems, they are a popular choice in multi-unit buildings, hotels, and apartments. The Friedrich brand is renowned for its durability and energy efficiency. These units are designed to provide both heating and cooling, making them an all-in-one solution for year-round comfort. However, like any machine, regular maintenance is key to ensuring longevity.
By investing in a repair rather than a replacement, this customer saved money while extending the lifespan of their unit. It’s a win-win that highlights why it’s essential to work with experienced HVAC professionals.

Preventative Maintenance Tips for PTAC Owners
To avoid future issues like the ones we addressed in this service call, we recommend the following maintenance tips for PTAC owners:
-
Clean the Filters Regularly
Dirty filters can restrict airflow and strain the system. Cleaning or replacing them every few months is essential. -
Inspect the Coils
Dust and debris can accumulate on the evaporator and condenser coils. Periodic cleaning will help maintain efficiency. -
Monitor Noise Levels
Unusual sounds, like the clicking noise reported by our customer, can be an early sign of mechanical issues. -
Schedule Annual Maintenance
A professional tune-up once a year can prevent costly repairs and ensure your system operates smoothly.
