A revealing service call: abnormal air temperature at the indoor unit outlet
At AirGreen , we regularly receive calls from customers on the South Shore reporting a lack of performance from their wall-mounted air conditioner . This time, our team intervened in Sainte-Julie to diagnose a Midea unit whose blowing temperature seemed insufficiently cold despite a functional compressor.
On site, our technician took an initial reading using an infrared thermometer , confirming an air outlet temperature of 13.7°C . This reading clearly indicated performance below expectations for a well-maintained unit, which should normally provide air between 7°C and 10°C in air conditioning mode.
Technical diagnosis: lack of refrigerant confirmed
After opening the hood of the indoor unit, our experts carried out a complete inspection of the refrigeration circuit . Signs of a lack of R-32 refrigerant quickly became apparent:
-
Suction pressure slightly lower than standard;
-
Light frost on the return pipe;
-
Warm ambient air at the coil outlet.
Thanks to our leak detection tools, we located a micro-leak on the flare connection of the outdoor unit , a classic problem on old installations or those subject to strong thermal variations.
Repair steps: rigor and precision signed AirGreen
-
Recovery of remaining refrigerant to meet environmental standards.
-
Flare replacement and complete cleaning of the lines with dry nitrogen.
-
Pressure leak test for 30 minutes to ensure seal strength.
-
Recharge the system to the nearest gram according to Midea manufacturer's specifications.
-
Final performance measurement : blowing temperature stabilized at 7.9°C , a sign of optimal performance restored.
Each step was recorded to ensure complete traceability of the intervention , in accordance with our quality protocols.
Result: restored comfort and optimized energy efficiency
After the repair, the customer immediately noticed the difference:
-
The room was cool again in less than 15 minutes;
-
The device operated at a stable speed without overconsumption;
-
Blowing noise has reduced, indicating better airflow balance.
We also took advantage of the intervention to carry out:
-
A complete cleaning of the filter ;
-
Disinfection of the evaporator with dry steam;
-
A condensate check to prevent future blockages.
