A quick service call in a typical Montreal duplex
At AirGreen , we were recently called to repair a Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump installed on the rear facade of a duplex in Verdun , an area where indoor comfort is paramount, summer and winter. The customer contacted us after noticing that their outdoor unit was no longer starting, despite a working remote control and an illuminated interior light.
Initial diagnosis: an intermittent electrical failure
Upon our arrival, our technician performed a complete system diagnostic. The Zephyr compressor would not turn on, and the outdoor fan would remain inactive.
After verification:
-
The power supply to the circuit breaker was stable.
-
The starter relay showed signs of wear and oxidation.
-
The outdoor unit control board showed an anomaly on the control voltage.
So we've isolated the likely cause: a faulty circuit board , often caused by moisture infiltration into poorly sealed enclosures or voltage fluctuations.
Repair and recommissioning
Since the Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump is a compact and efficient model, we were able to carry out the repair on site without completely replacing the module.
Steps of our intervention:
-
Power off and secure the area.
-
Disassembly of the cover and extraction of the control board.
-
Cleaning and drying the connectors.
-
Replacement of damaged components (built-in fuse and starter relay).
-
Complete system reset and reboot tests.
Once the system was powered back up, the heat pump restarted immediately. We checked the compressor inrush current , R-410A refrigerant pressure , and the indoor discharge temperature . All parameters were within the manufacturer's specifications.
A preventive maintenance check
As always, after the repair, our team offered a complete maintenance :
-
Cleaning the outdoor coil.
-
Checking the condensate drainage.
-
Inspection of cables and sheaths.
-
Checking the internal filter.
The customer, satisfied with the service, also decided to add his address to our annual AirGreen maintenance program , guaranteeing the good performance and longevity of his wall-mounted heat pump.
