Emergency Winter Repair: How AirGreen Solved a Kanion Heat Pump Problem in Montreal West
At AirGreen, we understand that the performance of your HVAC system is crucial, especially during the winter. It was in this context that one of our technicians was recently called to repair a Kanion wall-mounted heat pump in Montreal West. The customer had noticed that their unit wasn't operating efficiently, despite freezing temperatures outside. Here's a detailed look at the repair.
Context of the Service Call
During this intervention in Montreal West, a customer contacted AirGreen about a problem with their Kanion wall-mounted heat pump . The unit wasn't producing heat, which was particularly problematic in such a cold climate. One of our technicians went on-site to diagnose the problem.
Diagnosis of the Problem
Upon arriving on site, our technician immediately noticed that the heat pump's outdoor unit, exposed to the elements and extreme cold, appeared to be undercharged with refrigerant. This could cause performance issues, especially when the unit was in heating mode.
Upon conducting a more thorough test, he confirmed that the refrigerant pressure was insufficient. After checking the pipes and connections, he also detected a slight leak in the circuit, a fairly common problem in winter installations, especially when weather conditions affect external components.
Repair Process
The problem was identified as a leak in the Kanion heat pump's refrigeration circuit, which had caused the pressure drop. Here's how we resolved the situation:
-
Refrigeration Circuit Check : We started by shutting down the system and disconnecting the refrigerant to prevent any further leaks.
-
System Recharge : After detecting the leak and isolating the area, we proceeded to recharge the heat pump with the correct refrigerant, using a pressure gauge to ensure the correct pressure. This step is crucial to ensure optimal performance of the unit.
-
Operational Test : Once the refrigerant was recharged, we turned on the unit and observed its operation for a period of time to ensure that heat was being produced correctly again, and that the system was operating within the manufacturer's recommended parameters.
-
Winter Preparation : To prevent further problems in the future, we have recommended more in-depth preventative maintenance, including regular inspection of exterior components that may be affected by frost.
Results and Customer Satisfaction
The client was extremely satisfied with our prompt and efficient response. Thanks to AirGreen's expertise and the use of specialized equipment, we were able to get their Kanion heat pump back up and running in a timely manner. The unit is now operating at full capacity, ensuring comfortable warmth throughout the winter.
