Breathing New Life into a Reliable Fujitsu Mini-Split
At AirGreen, we take pride in offering unmatched HVAC services across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and the North and South Shore. This week, we were called to Pierrefonds-Roxboro for a service call on a trusted Fujitsu mini-split heat pump. While most service calls are about installing shiny new systems, this one was different: the customer wanted their beloved old heat pump repaired. And we love a good challenge!
The result? A perfectly functioning machine with extended years of service life—and one very happy customer. Here's the full story.
The Customer's Concerns: A Lifeline for Their Fujitsu
When we first heard from the customer, they were worried that their Fujitsu mini-split heat pump, which had served them for years, might finally be beyond repair. They reported inconsistent cooling, strange noises, and some visible wear and tear. But instead of immediately opting for a replacement, they wanted to explore repair options.
This heat pump wasn’t just a machine; it was part of their home. And as we always say, if there’s a way to save it, we’ll find it.
The Diagnosis: Understanding the Issues
Upon arriving at the property, our certified technicians conducted a thorough inspection. Here's what we found:
- Clogged Air Filters: Years of use without adequate cleaning had led to restricted airflow, reducing cooling efficiency.
- Drainage Blockage: A blocked drain line had caused water to pool inside the unit, leading to some rust and minor leaks.
- Fan Motor Malfunction: The motor responsible for air circulation was showing signs of wear, causing the unusual noises the customer reported.
- Outdated Refrigerant Levels: Low refrigerant levels were affecting the heat pump’s ability to cool effectively.
With these findings, we had a clear action plan to restore the Fujitsu mini-split to its former glory.
Our Step-by-Step Repair Process
1. Cleaning the Air Filters and Coils
The first step was giving the unit a deep clean. Dirty filters and coils not only hinder performance but also increase energy consumption. We removed all debris and dust buildup, leaving the system as good as new.
2. Fixing the Drainage Issue
To address the drainage problem, we unclogged the blocked lines and ensured proper water flow. This step eliminated the risk of water damage and rust in the future.
3. Repairing the Fan Motor
The fan motor required precision work. Rather than replacing it outright, we repaired the existing motor components to save costs for the customer. The result? Smooth, quiet operation.
4. Recharging the Refrigerant
Using the manufacturer-recommended refrigerant, we carefully recharged the system to the optimal levels. This step restored the cooling efficiency and ensured peak performance during the hot summer months.
The Outcome: A Heat Pump That’s Good as New
After completing the repairs, we ran the Fujitsu mini-split through rigorous testing. The result was a fully functional heat pump delivering consistent, efficient cooling. The customer was thrilled, knowing they could enjoy years of reliable service without investing in a costly replacement.
