When we arrived in Ahuntsic-Cartierville to repair a customer’s Goodman mini split heat pump, we knew this wasn’t just a routine service call—it was an opportunity to show why AirGreen is the top choice for HVAC repairs in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore. With years of professional experience and a passion for quality, we took on the challenge of restoring this machine to optimal functionality. The result? A delighted customer and a heat pump ready for many more years of dependable service.
The Backstory: An Aging Workhorse
This Goodman mini split heat pump had seen better days. After years of Montreal’s fluctuating weather—scorching summers and frigid winters—the system was showing its age. The customer reported inconsistent cooling, odd noises, and reduced efficiency. They feared they might need a costly replacement. However, at AirGreen, we believe in extending the life of machines whenever possible. Armed with tools, expertise, and determination, we set out to breathe new life into this trusty heat pump.
Step-by-Step Breakdown of Our Work
1. A Thorough Diagnosis
The first step in any repair is understanding the problem. Our technicians began by carefully inspecting the Goodman heat pump. This included:
- Testing electrical connections for voltage inconsistencies.
- Examining the refrigerant levels to check for leaks.
- Inspecting the fan motor for wear and tear.
- Cleaning the condenser coils to remove accumulated dirt and debris.
Our investigation revealed that the system’s capacitor was failing, and there was a slight refrigerant imbalance. Both issues were impacting the heat pump’s performance.
2. Strategic Repairs
After identifying the problems, we got to work.
- Capacitor Replacement: The old, worn-out capacitor was swapped for a brand-new one, ensuring the system could run efficiently without interruptions.
- Refrigerant Top-Up: We recharged the system with just the right amount of refrigerant, adhering to Goodman’s precise specifications. This step is critical to maintaining energy efficiency and cooling capacity.
- Fan Realignment: To eliminate the odd noises, we adjusted the fan alignment and lubricated the motor bearings, restoring smooth and quiet operation.
- Detailed Cleaning: Finally, we performed a deep clean of all key components, including the evaporator coils and air filters, to ensure optimal airflow and system longevity.
Why This Repair Stands Out
What made this repair special wasn’t just the technical expertise we brought to the table. It was the attention to detail and customer focus that turned a potentially frustrating situation into a positive experience. Here are a few highlights:
- Cost Savings: By repairing instead of replacing, we saved the customer thousands of dollars.
- Sustainability: Extending the life of an HVAC system reduces waste and supports eco-friendly practices.
- Customer Delight: The customer was thrilled with the results, noting that the heat pump was working “better than it had in years.”
