An AirGreen service call for restored comfort
At AirGreen , we recently performed an HVAC service call in Sainte-Dorothée (Laval) for a Fujitsu wall-mounted air conditioner installed in a single-family residence. The customer noticed that the unit was no longer effectively cooling the upper floor, despite basic maintenance performed in the spring. With the arrival of a heat wave, he preferred to call our certified technicians for a complete diagnosis and rapid repair.
Initial diagnosis: loss of performance without apparent error
Upon arrival, we noticed that the Fujitsu wall-mounted air conditioner was working without error codes, but the airflow coming out was not as cold as it should be. Using our infrared thermometer , the temperature measured at the air outlet was 14.8 °C , while a well-calibrated unit should blow between 7 and 9 °C .
Our technicians have undertaken a series of rigorous checks:
-
Air filters : slightly dirty, requiring thorough cleaning.
-
Evaporator coil : accumulation of fine dust, reducing heat exchange.
-
Indoor fan : stable rotation, no imbalance detected.
-
Outdoor condenser : cleanliness correct, but refrigerant level slightly insufficient .
-
Temperature probe : stable reading, no electronic fault.
These findings pointed our diagnosis towards a micro-leak of refrigerant or a charge imbalance in the refrigeration circuit.
Repair Steps
After discussing with the client, we carried out a complete intervention to restore the optimal performance of the system:
-
Thoroughly clean the indoor unit using a biodegradable product to remove all traces of dust and grease.
-
Inspection of the refrigeration circuit with electronic leak detector: a micro-leak at the flare connection between the indoor unit and the piping was detected.
-
Tightening of the fitting with torque application in accordance with Fujitsu specifications.
-
30 minute nitrogen leak test : no leaks detected after retightening.
-
Recharge the system with R410A refrigerant according to the recommended nominal pressures.
-
Checking the outlet temperature after repair: stabilized at 7.2°C , confirming the return to normal performance.
Final result and recommendations
Once the repair was completed, the unit returned to its original performance . The customer immediately noticed an improvement in thermal comfort upstairs, with quieter operation and better temperature stability.
Our technicians took the opportunity to remind you of some good maintenance practices:
-
Clean filters every 4 to 6 weeks.
-
Check the coils at the start of each season.
-
Avoid covering outdoor units , even in winter, to prevent condensation.
-
Schedule professional annual maintenance , including checking the refrigerant and condensate drainage system.
