When a wall-mounted air conditioner stops blowing well: a typical service call in Montreal
At AirGreen , we regularly receive calls for Fujitsu wall-mounted air conditioners that appear to be working but whose cooling output drops or whose indoor unit is slightly leaking . This was precisely the case for this residential customer in Saint-Laurent , on the island of Montreal, who contacted us after noticing water dripping on his doorframe and uneven cooling in his master bedroom .
Diagnosis: A clogged filter and a blocked drain
Upon arrival, our technicians conducted a thorough inspection of the Fujitsu wall unit . The top cover was opened, revealing heavily clogged air filters , a sign of neglected maintenance over several seasons . Underneath, a buildup of moisture and dust indicated a drainage problem .
We then checked:
-
The condensate tray , filled with stagnant water;
-
The drain pipe , clogged with a mixture of dust and algae;
-
The blower turbine , partially blocked, reducing the air flow.
Thanks to these findings, the diagnosis was made quickly: poorly evacuated condensates causing a flow on the wall and reduced performance of the system.
Repair steps and complete cleaning
Our team carried out the following interventions:
-
Removal and complete cleaning of air filters with a biodegradable antibacterial product;
-
Vacuuming and rinsing the condensate tray to eliminate all traces of mold;
-
Unclogging the drain using a pressure cleaning tool;
-
Cleaning the turbine (centrifugal wheel) to restore optimal air flow;
-
Functional test and measurement of the temperature differential , confirming the return to normal performance.
Result: restored comfort and optimized performance
After restarting, the Fujitsu wall-mounted air conditioner regained a powerful and constant airflow , with a stable blowing temperature around 8°C at the outlet . The condensation water flowed correctly through the pipe, and no traces of humidity were visible on the wall.
The customer immediately noticed the difference: the room cooling was uniform , without fluctuations or excessive noise.
Recommendations to prevent this type of breakdown
Our technicians have reminded you of some essential maintenance tips:
-
Clean the filters every two months , especially during the summer;
-
Check the drain pipe before each hot season;
-
Have annual professional maintenance performed to clean the turbine and coils;
-
Avoid leaving the air conditioner running in dehumidification mode for extended periods unattended.
These simple actions can prevent leaks, mold growth, and reduced energy efficiency.
