When a modern condo encounters an unexpected breakdown
In a bright apartment in the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood, a customer contacted us after noticing that their Carrier wall-mounted air conditioner was no longer properly cooling their living space. Installed on a high balcony , the outdoor condenser appeared intact, but the air blowing inside was lukewarm—a telltale sign of a problem in the refrigeration circuit or with the compressor.
At AirGreen , we know that every service call in an urban environment requires special attention: restricted access, compact installation, acoustic requirements... and above all, an accurate diagnosis to avoid costly repairs.
Field diagnosis
Upon our arrival, our technician carried out a series of methodical checks:
-
Visual inspection of the Carrier condenser on the balcony for any debris buildup or signs of oil leakage.
-
R-410A refrigerant pressure test , confirming a level slightly below normal.
-
Checked the indoor coil , which showed slight frosting — a typical symptom of low refrigerant or a faulty sensor.
-
Voltage and electrical continuity measurement on the compressor and control board.
The result: a microleak at the flare fitting connecting the copper pipe to the condenser. This slow leak had gradually reduced the system's performance, making cooling ineffective.
Intervention and repair
After isolating and purging the circuit , we proceeded to:
-
Replacement of the defective flare fitting and tightening with controlled torque.
-
Nitrogen leak test for 45 minutes to ensure pressure stability.
-
Complete recharge with R-410A , in accordance with the specifications of the manufacturer Carrier.
-
Restart and calibrate the system to check the discharge temperature and delta T inside.
Once the repair was completed, the wall-mounted air conditioner returned to its original efficiency, providing cool, stable air throughout the condo.
Result: comfort restored and efficiency regained
Within minutes of startup, the customer noticed an immediate difference: the airflow was once again cool and consistent . Performance testing confirmed optimal performance, with operating pressure in line with Carrier standards.
We also provided the customer with some maintenance recommendations :
-
Clean the internal filter every 3 to 4 weeks during the summer season.
-
Avoid covering the condenser on the balcony during the hot season.
-
Have the system inspected by a certified technician once a year to prevent microleaks.
