Precision service from AirGreen for restored performance
At AirGreen , every service call is an opportunity to bring an HVAC system back to life and demonstrate our technical expertise. That day, our team went to the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood of Montreal to work on a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump that was no longer adequately cooling our client's home. A common problem, but the exact causes require careful diagnosis.
Initial observation and symptoms reported by the client
The customer contacted us after noticing a gradual decline in performance.
Despite setting the thermostat to 20°C, the indoor temperature remained at 25°C. In addition, the outdoor compressor seemed to be running continuously without producing sufficiently cold air.
Our initial on-site checks revealed several warning signs:
-
The Fujitsu Halcyon outdoor unit had a buildup of dust and debris on the coil.
-
The fan was spinning erratically.
-
A slight oil leak was visible at the liquid side flare fitting.
-
The condensate drain pipe was partially blocked.
These clues pointed to a problem with refrigerant pressure and circulation , possibly caused by a slow leak.
Complete diagnosis: rigor and technology
Our technicians carried out a complete analysis of the refrigeration circuit :
-
Measuring operating pressures with a digital manifold.
-
Checking the air flow at the outlet of the indoor unit.
-
Nitrogen leak test to identify any refrigerant loss.
-
Electrical inspection of components (capacitor, relay, control board).
The results confirmed:
-
Minimal leakage on the flare fitting on the liquid side.
-
A significant drop in pressure , resulting in reduced thermal efficiency.
-
An imbalance in the R-410A refrigerant charge .
Steps of repair
To restore the performance of the heat pump, our team carried out a series of specific interventions:
-
Flare fitting repair : removal, cleaning, gasket replacement and tightening with controlled torque.
-
Complete vacuuming of the system for 45 minutes to eliminate all traces of humidity.
-
Recharging the refrigeration circuit with the exact quantity of R-410A , according to the specifications of the manufacturer Fujitsu.
-
Complete cleaning of the outdoor coil to maximize heat exchange.
-
Operational test and measurement of the blowing temperature: difference of 12°C between the air drawn in and the air blown out, a sign of optimal efficiency.
Results: 100% return to performance
After our intervention, the Fujitsu heat pump regained its original performance.
Operational tests demonstrated:
-
Pressure stabilized at 125 psi on the low side and 360 psi on the high side , perfect values for a summer cooling cycle.
-
An interior temperature dropped from 25°C to 21°C in less than 15 minutes.
-
Quiet and smooth compressor operation .
The customer immediately felt the difference: restored comfort and stabilized energy consumption.
Recommended preventive maintenance
To extend the life of the system and avoid future breakdowns, we have recommended an annual maintenance plan including:
-
Clean the outdoor coil twice a year (spring and fall).
-
Checking the refrigerant charge and flare connections.
-
Cleaning the indoor unit , especially the filter and turbine.
-
Inspection of the condensate drain , often overlooked but essential to prevent overflows and corrosion.
Regular maintenance can maintain up to 25% additional energy efficiency over the life of the system.
