How We Revived a Trusted Mini Split Air Conditioner for a Longueuil Home
At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional HVAC solutions to homeowners across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and the Rive Sud. Our latest service call in Longueuil was nothing short of a testament to our expertise and commitment to providing top-tier HVAC services. In this case, we were tasked with repairing a SANYO Ductless Heat Pump—a unit that had served its owner faithfully but recently started showing signs of wear and tear. The customer wasn’t sure if the unit could be repaired at all, but our skilled technicians weren’t ready to give up so easily.
The Challenge: Diagnosing a Complicated Issue
When our team arrived at the customer’s home in Longueuil, we were met with a unit that had stopped functioning effectively. The homeowner mentioned that the SANYO Mini Split was no longer cooling or heating as it should, and there were strange noises coming from the indoor unit. They feared they might need a complete replacement, which understandably caused concern due to the potential cost.
However, we know that not all HVAC issues require drastic measures. Our certified technicians carefully inspected the unit, running diagnostic tests to pinpoint the root cause of the problem. Within minutes, we discovered that the issue lay in the fan motor and a clogged condenser coil. Over time, dirt and debris had built up, preventing the unit from operating efficiently.
Our Approach: A Detailed and Thorough Repair
Our team immediately got to work, employing a step-by-step process to bring the SANYO Heat Pump back to life. Here’s how we approached the repair:
Step 1: Cleaning and Maintenance
- We began by thoroughly cleaning the indoor and outdoor units. Using specialized cleaning agents, we removed the dirt buildup from the condenser coil and ensured that the airflow would no longer be obstructed.
- The air filters were washed and reinstalled, as they had accumulated a significant amount of dust over time.
Step 2: Repairing the Fan Motor
- The fan motor was carefully disassembled and repaired. This component is crucial for circulating air within the home, and its malfunction was one of the primary reasons for the unit’s inefficiency.
- After repairing the motor, we tested its operation to ensure it was running smoothly and quietly.
Step 3: Refrigerant Check
- We inspected the refrigerant levels to confirm that the system was operating at its optimum capacity. Low refrigerant can severely impact the performance of a heat pump, but in this case, the levels were within acceptable parameters.
Step 4: Comprehensive System Test
- Once the repairs were completed, we conducted a full system test. This included evaluating the cooling and heating performance of the unit, as well as ensuring that the thermostat and remote control were functioning as expected.
The Outcome: A Heat Pump Restored to Full Efficiency
By the end of our visit, the SANYO Mini Split was working as if it were brand new. The homeowner was thrilled to see their trusted heat pump back in action, ready to provide comfort for years to come. What could have been an expensive replacement was instead a cost-effective repair, thanks to our team’s expertise and attention to detail.
