How We Brought New Life to a Trusted Machine
When a customer in Terrebonne reached out to us about their struggling TAC ductless heat pump, we knew we were about to face an interesting challenge. They weren’t optimistic about a solution, convinced that the machine’s best days were behind it. However, as an experienced HVAC service provider with a reputation for saving even the trickiest installations, we were determined to prove otherwise.
A Trusted Heat Pump in Trouble
The TAC mini split is a reliable and efficient system, beloved for its compact design and energy efficiency. But, like all hardworking machines, even the best systems can encounter hiccups after years of operation. In this case, the customer reported that the heat pump wasn’t performing as it used to, leaving their home either too warm or too chilly depending on the day.
Worse, they had been told by another company that a full replacement was likely their only option. Skeptical of this advice, they turned to us for a second opinion. They had heard about AirGreen’s reputation for thorough diagnostics and our commitment to cost-effective solutions.
Our Comprehensive Diagnostic Process
When our technicians arrived, they approached the situation with the diligence and precision we’re known for. Armed with cutting-edge diagnostic tools and years of expertise, they began their investigation. Here’s what we did:
- System Inspection: We started by examining the outdoor and indoor units. The exterior showed signs of wear and tear, but nothing that screamed “beyond repair.”
- Airflow Analysis: We checked the indoor air circulation and found a significant reduction in efficiency, likely due to blockages or a malfunctioning component.
- Electrical Testing: Next, we verified the electrical connections and found a loose wire that had been causing intermittent issues.
- Refrigerant Levels: The refrigerant levels were slightly low, likely contributing to the unit’s inability to cool effectively.
The Problem: A Hidden Culprit
It didn’t take long to identify the main culprit: a clogged condenser coil and a misaligned fan blade. These issues had been slowly reducing the system’s performance over time, leading to the homeowner’s frustration. However, these were problems that could be solved without resorting to an expensive replacement.
The Repair: Breathing New Life Into the TAC Heat Pump
Our repair process was meticulous. We pride ourselves on ensuring every detail is addressed, and this service call was no exception.
- Cleaning the Condenser Coil: Using eco-friendly cleaning agents, we carefully cleared the buildup from the coil, restoring its heat exchange efficiency.
- Realigning the Fan Blade: We adjusted the fan blade to ensure it spun without obstructions, reducing noise and enhancing airflow.
- Securing Electrical Connections: The loose wire was reconnected and reinforced to ensure consistent power flow.
- Recharging the Refrigerant: Finally, we topped up the refrigerant to the manufacturer’s recommended levels, ensuring optimal cooling and heating performance.
Customer Relief and Satisfaction
When we fired up the heat pump after the repair, the transformation was immediate. Cool air flowed effortlessly, and the system hummed quietly, just like it did when it was first installed. The customer couldn’t believe it. They had been bracing for the expense of a new unit, but instead, they got a machine that was ready to serve them reliably for years to come.
Our technicians didn’t just repair the heat pump; they restored the customer’s confidence in their system and saved them a significant amount of money.
