A Remarkable Service Call That Turned Doubt Into Delight
When we received a call from a Laval homeowner about their Carrier central heat pump, they were convinced it was beyond repair. For months, their once-reliable unit had been struggling, leaving them with inconsistent cooling during the summer and unreliable heating as the cooler months approached. The customer, having consulted other companies who suggested a complete replacement, was understandably skeptical about our ability to restore the system. However, at AirGreen, we don’t shy away from a challenge.
Initial Assessment: Digging Deeper to Diagnose
Upon arrival, our team conducted a meticulous inspection. The Carrier heat pump, a robust system known for its efficiency and reliability, was showing clear signs of distress. The outdoor unit seemed to operate intermittently, and the indoor airflow was weak. Another company had declared the compressor as the culprit and suggested replacement as the only option.
But we believed in taking a deeper dive. Our technicians, equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and years of expertise, were determined to uncover the true source of the problem.
Cracking the Case: The Hidden Culprit
After carefully testing the compressor, electrical connections, and refrigerant levels, our technicians discovered something surprising: the issue wasn’t with the compressor at all. Instead, a malfunctioning capacitor had caused the system to falter. This tiny but critical component regulates the electrical current that powers the compressor, and when it fails, the entire system struggles.
Replacing the capacitor was a straightforward task, but we didn’t stop there. A full system check revealed additional minor issues, including a clogged condensate drain and a slightly dirty evaporator coil, which we promptly addressed to restore the unit to peak performance.
