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.

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.
AirGreen Expertise: Repair of a Kenmore Central Heat Pump in Île-Bizard
At AirGreen, we understand how essential a central heat pump is to maintaining a comfortable indoor climate, especially during seasonal changes in Montreal and its surroundings. Recently, we performed a service call on a Kenmore central heat pump in Île-Bizard, a locality located on the West Island of Montreal, where we addressed performance issues and optimized the unit’s efficiency.
The Challenge: Decreased Performance
During this call, the customer reported that their Kenmore central heat pump seemed to no longer produce heat efficiently and was struggling to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the home. This situation could cause significant discomfort, especially in winter, and make it difficult to achieve the desired indoor comfort, particularly on the North Shore and South Shore of Montreal, where temperatures can drop well below freezing.
Although the unit was relatively new, it was beginning to show signs of HVAC troubleshooting common to heat pumps, including unusual noises and a loss of efficiency in heating. It was crucial to intervene quickly to prevent more costly repairs in the long term.
Diagnosis and Solution: Complete Repair and Preventative Maintenance
Upon arrival, our experienced technicians first performed a thorough diagnosis of the central heat pump. After inspection, we identified several issues:
-
Debris buildup: One of the main issues was a partial obstruction in the ventilation system, which hindered airflow and reduced heating efficiency.
-
Electrical connection problems: Some slightly degraded wiring required updating to ensure stable energy distribution.
-
Compressor failure: The compressor, essential to the thermal conversion process, showed signs of impending failure. It was crucial to replace it before a total breakdown occurred.
We immediately set to work repairing and replacing the defective parts, particularly the compressor, while thoroughly cleaning the ventilation ducts to ensure optimal airflow. We also performed a comprehensive preventative maintenance service to avoid future breakdowns, lubricating components and checking the unit’s overall condition.
Results After Repair: Restored Comfort and Optimized Performance
Once the repair was completed, we tested the Kenmore central heat pump to ensure it was operating correctly. The results were clear: the heating was much more efficient, the indoor temperature remained stable, and the customer could now enjoy optimal comfort at home, even on cold winter days on the South Shore of Montreal.
Furthermore, thanks to our prompt and professional intervention, the customer avoided future costs related to a complete replacement of the unit. The system now runs at maximum performance, with reduced energy consumption, leading to significant savings on electricity bills.

Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. A central heat pump uses the house's ducts.
It connects to the existing ducts to heat and cool everywhere.
2. In extreme cold, electric backup heat can take over.
The indoor module (furnace or air handler) works with the heat pump and takes over in extreme cold.
3. The filter only gets changed when the unit breaks down.
A dirty filter cuts airflow. It gets checked regularly.
4. You can reuse the old unit's size without checking.
The house may have changed: insulation, windows, added rooms. Capacity is confirmed on site.
