A precise diagnosis for restored comfort

At AirGreen , every service call is handled with the same technical rigor and attention to detail. This call came from a customer living in Sainte-Dorothée, Laval , who noticed that his Gree wall-mounted heat pump was no longer cooling his living space effectively. Despite a setting of 20°C, the room remained warm and uncomfortable.

Upon arrival, our certified technician undertook a complete analysis of the system . Using a precision infrared thermometer , the air outlet temperature was measured at 16.1°C , an abnormally high value for an optimal cooling cycle.


Step 1: General Operation Inspection

Before any intervention, it is essential to observe the overall behavior of the heat pump.
Our technician carried out the following checks:

  • Ambient and blowing temperature : confirming an insufficient difference for good performance.

  • Condition of the interior filters : slight clogging, contributing to the reduction in air flow.

  • Outdoor unit condition : No visible obstructions, but the condenser required a thorough cleaning.

  • Checking the electronic card and the temperature sensor : correct operation, no anomalies detected.

These initial findings led the diagnosis towards a loss of performance linked to the refrigeration cycle .


Step 2: Diagnosis of the refrigeration circuit

To confirm this hypothesis, we connected our pressure gauges and checked the pressures of the R410A refrigerant.
Result: Low pressure too low , indicating a minor refrigerant leak in the circuit.

Our experts then carried out:

  • A nitrogen leak detection test ;

  • A careful visual inspection of flare connections and welds ;

  • A preventive tightening of certain connection points .

A micro-leak was identified at the suction pipe union at the wall head. After repair and re-welding, we performed a complete vacuum , then recharged the circuit to the exact amount specified by Gree .


Step 3: Recommissioning and final checks

Once the heat pump was restarted, the blowing temperature gradually dropped:

  • First minute: 15°C

  • Third minute: 11°C

  • Fifth minute: 8.5°C

Cooling performance has therefore returned to an optimal level , ensuring a temperature difference of more than 10°C between the intake air and the blown air, which perfectly corresponds to the performance standards of Gree wall-mounted heat pumps.

The customer immediately noticed the difference: fresher air, quieter operation, and restored comfort throughout the home.


Step 4: Recommended Preventive Maintenance

We advised the client to adopt an AirGreen annual maintenance plan , including:

  • Complete cleaning of filters and coils ;

  • Checking the refrigerant level ;

  • Checking electrical connections and condensate drain ;

  • Inspection of motorized shutters for a homogeneous air flow.

This regular monitoring helps extend the life of the system while maintaining maximum energy efficiency , thus reducing electricity costs.
