When a Gree wall-mounted air conditioner shows signs of fatigue
At AirGreen , we know that a well-maintained wall-mounted air conditioner is essential for our customers' comfort, especially during the hot days experienced in and around Montreal. Recently, our team was called to Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue , on the west end of the island, to diagnose and repair a Gree wall-mounted air conditioner installed in a converted home office.
The customer contacted us after noticing that their unit was no longer cooling as efficiently as before and that an unusual noise was being heard every time the compressor started.
Accurate diagnosis: when performance decreases for no apparent reason
Upon our arrival, our certified technician conducted a complete inspection of the Gree wall-mounted system . The indoor unit was installed high above a display case, and the outdoor unit was located on the adjacent balcony. This type of installation is typical of modern residential configurations, where aesthetics and performance must coexist harmoniously.
Initial checks revealed:
-
A build-up of dust on the indoor heat exchanger ;
-
A clogged filter , limiting air circulation;
-
Refrigerant pressure slightly lower than Gree recommended values;
-
Intermittent noise from the interior fan , a sign of a dirty blower motor .
Intervention: cleaning, calibration and recharging of the system
After unplugging the device and securing the work area, we took the following steps:
-
Thorough cleaning of the indoor unit (evaporator, filters, casing and tangential fan).
-
Checking the electrical wiring and connections to ensure that no short circuits were causing the noise detected.
-
Inspection of the fan motor , disassembly and light lubrication of the bearings.
-
R-32 refrigerant pressures on the outdoor unit were checked . After detecting a slight deficit, a precise recharge was carried out according to Gree's specifications.
-
Cleaning the outdoor condenser , clogged by plant debris accumulated over the seasons.
-
Comprehensive performance test : We measured outlet air temperature, pressures and thermal stability after 15 minutes of continuous operation.
Result: optimal performance, noise levels returned to normal, and a fully satisfied customer.
Probable causes and long-term prevention
In this specific case, the drop in performance was due to insufficient maintenance over the years. The lack of regular cleaning of the filter and exchange fins had led to an overload of the compressor and increased energy consumption .
We recommended to the client:
-
Clean the filters every 3 months ;
-
To have an annual professional interview carried out before each summer season;
-
Avoid obstructing air circulation around the outdoor condenser.
