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.
