A Smooth Repair with an Interesting Twist: How We Restored Comfort in Laval
At AirGreen, no two service calls are ever the same. When we were contacted for a repair job on a PolarBear Mini Split Heat Pump in Laval, it seemed like a typical case of a machine underperforming. However, this service call turned out to be much more than just a quick fix. It became an opportunity to demonstrate our expertise, solve a complex issue, and leave another happy customer ready for all seasons.
The Initial Call: A Family in Need of Immediate Assistance
Our Laval client had been dealing with inconsistent heating from their PolarBear Mini Split. As winter approached, the family noticed cold spots in their home, which were particularly problematic in the living room and bedrooms. To make matters worse, the outdoor unit was making unusual noises, raising concerns that the problem might worsen if left unattended. This was a family that relied on their heat pump for year-round comfort, so we knew we had to act quickly.
Understanding the PolarBear Mini Split Heat Pump
Before we dive into the repair process, let’s highlight why the PolarBear Mini Split is a popular choice:
- High Efficiency: Designed to deliver optimal performance while keeping energy consumption low, the PolarBear Mini Split is a favorite for eco-conscious homeowners.
- Quiet Operation: Its advanced technology ensures that both indoor and outdoor units operate with minimal noise, making it ideal for family homes.
- Durable Design: Built to handle extreme weather conditions, this model is engineered to last, even through the harshest winters and hottest summers.
Even with these impressive features, regular maintenance is key to keeping the system running smoothly.
Diagnosing the Issue: A Thorough Inspection
Once we arrived on-site, our team began with a detailed inspection of the entire system. Here’s what we found:
- Blocked Outdoor Unit: The outdoor unit was partially obstructed by debris, likely due to fallen leaves and dirt accumulated during the fall season. This blockage was restricting airflow and causing the system to overheat intermittently.
- Damaged Fan Blade: A misaligned fan blade in the outdoor unit was creating vibrations and noise, significantly affecting performance.
- Clogged Filters: Inside the home, the filters in the indoor units were clogged with dust and pet hair, reducing the system’s efficiency and contributing to uneven heating.
The Repair Process: Restoring Efficiency and Comfort
Step 1: Clearing and Cleaning the Outdoor Unit
Our first task was to carefully remove all debris from the outdoor unit. Once cleared, we cleaned the unit’s coils and surrounding components to ensure proper airflow. We also installed a protective cover to prevent future blockages from recurring.
Step 2: Fixing the Fan Blade
The damaged fan blade required immediate attention. We replaced it with a PolarBear-compatible part, recalibrated the system, and tested the unit to confirm that the vibrations and noise had been resolved.
Step 3: Deep Cleaning the Indoor Units
Inside the home, we removed and cleaned the filters of each indoor unit. After cleaning, we inspected the evaporator coils and ensured all components were functioning at peak efficiency. To educate the family, we demonstrated how to clean the filters regularly to avoid future issues.
Step 4: System Optimization
After addressing the immediate concerns, we performed a full system optimization. This included recalibrating the thermostat settings and running a performance test to ensure the heat pump could handle Laval’s demanding winter climate.
The Outcome: A Warm and Happy Home
By the end of the service call, the PolarBear Mini Split was operating like new. The family immediately noticed a difference: consistent warmth throughout their home, quieter operation, and improved airflow. We left them with tips for routine maintenance and a reminder that AirGreen is just a call away for any future needs.
