A Service Call for a MBP Furnace: Troubleshooting and Repair in Montreal-West
At AirGreen, we specialize in the repair and maintenance of HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), providing reliable and professional services in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and throughout the North and South Shores. Recently, we responded to a service call in the Montreal-West area, where a client was experiencing issues with their MBP EliteAir furnace.
The Challenge: Starting Issues with the MBP EliteAir Furnace
Upon our arrival, our technician observed a major issue affecting the furnace’s operation. The unit in question was an MBP EliteAir, a model known for its high performance in forced air heating systems. The problem involved difficult starts, with signs of malfunctioning in the air handler motor, a critical component responsible for circulating hot air throughout the house.
A thorough inspection revealed several signs of wear and tear in certain electrical and mechanical components. The motor appeared to be clogged, causing overloading and inefficient starts, which could result in total system failure if not addressed quickly.
The Repair Process: Disassembly, Cleaning, and Replacement of Defective Parts
Our team of qualified technicians began by disassembling the furnace to access the motor and the entire ventilation system. A meticulous cleaning of each component was carried out to remove any buildup of dust or debris. Specifically, the air handler was taken apart for a closer inspection. This step is crucial because a clogged motor can lead to premature wear and reduced heating efficiency.
We then identified a defective motor that required replacement. A new motor was installed, and other components of the system were checked and maintained to ensure optimal performance. The electronics were also inspected, including the control panel and electrical connections, to guarantee safe and secure operation.
Results: Restored Comfort and Improved Energy Efficiency
After the repair, the heating system was put to the test. We verified its proper function by conducting several start-up and performance tests. The new motor allowed for a smooth start and efficient circulation of warm air throughout the house. The client immediately noticed a difference in terms of comfort and temperature regulation in their living spaces.
Not only was thermal comfort restored, but the replacement of the defective motor and the performed maintenance also led to improved energy efficiency of the system. This type of repair prevents future costly breakdowns and ensures lower energy consumption, which is essential for households looking to reduce their utility bills.

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.
