A quick service call in the heart of downtown
At AirGreen , we often receive calls from condominiums in downtown Montreal where wall-mounted installations must cope with specific environments: concrete ceilings, tight spaces, and sometimes limited air circulation. This was precisely the case for a Gree wall-mounted air conditioner installed in a modern condo in the Ville-Marie district.
The customer contacted us after noticing that their unit was no longer producing cold air, even when the outdoor compressor appeared to be running. A common situation, but one that requires a rigorous diagnostic approach—especially in buildings where every minute of comfort counts.
Accurate diagnosis and methodical intervention
Upon our arrival, our technician noticed an abnormal flow of water under the panel of the wall-mounted air conditioner, accompanied by an intermittent noise from the fan . After removing the front cover, we carried out a complete inspection:
-
Checked the filter and turbine : slight clogging was already reducing the air flow.
-
Inspection of the condensate pan and drain : a plug of dust and mold was obstructing the drain, causing water to overflow.
-
Testing the thermistor probe : it showed a temperature drift, preventing the electronic card from adjusting the compressor speed correctly.
The final diagnosis was twofold: clogged drain and defective thermistor .
Complete repair and refurbishment of the system
We first performed a thorough cleaning of the drainage system , using a mild mixture of approved HVAC disinfectant and compressed air. This step restored smooth condensate drainage.
Next, we replaced the thermistor probe with an original Gree part, calibrated for the series in question. After resetting the electronic module, a complete performance test confirmed the return to optimal operation:
-
Blowing temperature: 7°C in cooling mode;
-
Stable and quiet fan speed;
-
No leaks detected on the condensate line;
-
Power consumption within the standards of the technical sheet.
The Importance of Maintenance in Montreal Condos
Gree wall units , renowned for their reliability and compactness, require rigorous annual maintenance , especially in urban environments where dust and humidity can accelerate fouling.
At AirGreen, we recommend to all our clients in downtown, Plateau, Rosemont and Ville-Marie :
-
Clean the filters every 4 to 6 weeks ;
-
To have a complete professional maintenance carried out once a year ;
-
Immediately report any unusual noise, water leaks or drop in performance .
These simple actions can help avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your air conditioner.
Result: comfort restored and customer satisfied
After our intervention, the cold air was once again circulating evenly throughout the condo. The client, relieved to find a stable indoor climate during a heatwave, also subscribed to our annual AirGreen Preventive maintenance program , guaranteeing regular visits and priority support in case of an emergency.
This type of intervention illustrates our approach: precise diagnosis, rapid intervention and lasting service . Whether in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore or the South Shore , our team travels every day to offer the same quality of expertise and transparency.
