The article, chapter by chapter
At AirGreen, we understand the importance of keeping your HVAC systems in top working condition, especially when unexpected malfunctions occur. This was the case when we were called to repair a Rheem air handler in the beautiful city of Baie-D'Urfé. Our experts provided a quick and effective solution to restore comfort to our client’s home.
Identified Problem: Rheem Air Handler Malfunction
During this intervention in Baie-D'Urfé, we were called to diagnose and repair a Rheem air handler that was showing signs of malfunction. The unit was not providing adequate heating throughout the house, resulting in noticeable discomfort for the occupants. After an initial diagnostic, our technicians identified an issue with airflow, related to partial blockages and leaks within the system.
Diagnosing the Source of the Problem
Once on-site, our team carried out a thorough diagnostic of the unit. After listening to the client’s concerns, our experts carefully inspected the system to identify potential causes of the malfunction. Here’s how we approached the diagnosis:
-
Inspection of the Air Distribution System: We checked the ducts for any potential blockages or leaks. The leak within the system was confirmed, which explained the loss of heating efficiency.
-
Thermostat Evaluation: The thermostat was checked to ensure the settings were correct and no malfunction was present.
-
Air Filter Check: A clogged air filter can often cause similar problems. We confirmed that it needed replacing to allow better airflow.
Repair Intervention: Replacement and Preventive Maintenance
After confirming the source of the problem, our team carried out a series of actions to restore comfort in the client’s home.
Repairing the Leak and Replacing Components
-
Leak Repair: We fixed the leaks in the ducts, ensuring that air could circulate properly throughout the system.
-
Air Filter Replacement: A new, high-quality air filter was installed, allowing for better air filtration and circulation.
Adjusting and Optimizing the System
After repairing the leaks and replacing necessary components, our technicians carried out a fine-tuning of the unit. They adjusted the thermostat and calibrated the system parameters to ensure maximum performance.
Additionally, a complete inspection of the system was performed to verify its long-term efficiency. We also provided the client with a preventive maintenance plan to avoid future issues and extend the lifespan of the equipment.
Final Outcome: Return to Comfort and Customer Satisfaction
Once the repair was completed, our client expressed their satisfaction with the speed and efficiency of our intervention. The Rheem air handler is now operating at full capacity, providing uniform and comfortable heat throughout the house. We also gave the client advice on how to maintain the system to maximize the equipment’s performance.

What we check on a job like this one
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
It captures or rejects heat outside. It sits on a level base, above the snow, with free space all around.
The insulated refrigerant lines enter the house through a sealed opening and run to the indoor coil.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service.
Sitting on the indoor module, it moves heat between the house air and the refrigerant.
Electric furnace or air handler: its fan pushes air through the ducts. The electric backup takes over in extreme cold.
Supply ducts bring air to the rooms; returns bring it back to the unit. Their condition matters as much as the unit's.
It protects the coil and the fan. A dirty filter cuts airflow, so it gets checked regularly.
It runs the heat pump and the backup heat. It must be compatible with the installed system.
