Maintenance and Repair of a Gree Wall-Mounted Heat Pump During Winter
At AirGreen, we specialize in the repair and maintenance of heat pumps, particularly in the areas of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, as well as the North Shore and South Shore. Recently, we received a service call for a Gree wall-mounted heat pump in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, an interesting challenge that allowed us to showcase our expertise in troubleshooting during the winter season.
Description of the Issue
During this service call, our client reached out due to several problems encountered with their Gree wall-mounted heat pump, an outdoor unit installed on the side of their home. After noticing a drop in performance from the outdoor unit, it was clear that the unit was no longer operating at optimal levels. Warm air was not circulating efficiently within the house, causing thermal discomfort in the midst of winter.
Initial Diagnosis
After conducting a thorough evaluation, we identified several factors contributing to the issue. The first observation was the excessive buildup of snow and ice around the outdoor unit, which blocked air circulation. This hindered the compressor’s operation and reduced the heat exchange efficiency, a common issue with wall-mounted heat pumps during winter installations. Additionally, a slight frost had formed around the condenser, slowing down the defrosting process.
Repair and Solution Provided by AirGreen
To resolve this issue, our team of experts implemented a multi-step procedure to restore the unit’s performance. Here are the actions taken:
-
Clearing Snow and Defrosting the Outdoor Unit: The first step was to clear all the snow and ice around the heat pump. We used specialized tools to remove the ice safely, ensuring that no damage was done to the unit.
-
Cleaning Filters and System Inspection: We then proceeded to clean the air filters of both the indoor and outdoor units and inspected the system to ensure no other blockages were present in the ducts. We also checked the electrical wiring for any irregularities.
-
System Reset and Recalibration: After clearing the unit and performing a full cleaning, we reset the automatic defrost system to ensure it functioned properly. This step prevented future ice buildup and ensured optimal operation during the winter months.
-
Testing and Recommissioning the Unit: Finally, we tested the unit to ensure it was operating at full capacity. Warm air began circulating efficiently throughout the house, restoring thermal comfort for the client.
Results and Customer Satisfaction
Thanks to the rapid and professional intervention of our team, the Gree wall-mounted heat pump was restored to optimal operating condition. The client was able to enjoy a comfortable temperature inside their home despite the freezing temperatures outside. This type of service, particularly in winter, is crucial for ensuring the proper operation of heat pumps, especially when weather conditions complicate their performance.
