A service call to repair a Kenmore heat pump in Montreal East
At AirGreen, we specialize in the repair and maintenance of HVAC systems , including central heat pumps of all brands. Recently, our technicians responded to a service call in Montreal East for an urgent repair on a Kenmore heat pump, a model that had shown signs of malfunction. This case is a prime example of how we solve complex problems to restore comfort to our customers' homes.
Diagnosis of the problem
During the call, the customer explained that the heat pump was no longer functioning properly. After an initial inspection, our team quickly discovered that the ventilation system was partially obstructed and that the Kenmore heat pump's compressor was showing signs of overheating. Additionally, a slight leak in the refrigerant circuit was identified, which partially explained the unit's decreased performance.
Kenmore Heat Pump Repair Steps

Complete Inspection and Diagnostics : Our technicians thoroughly inspected all system components. After isolating the ventilation problem and locating the refrigerant leak, we decided to replace the damaged parts and thoroughly clean the system to remove any obstructions.
-
Replacement of defective components : The defective compressor was replaced with a new part, meeting Kenmore manufacturer specifications. We also replaced the gaskets to ensure the refrigerant leak was completely sealed.
-
Refrigerant Circuit Readjustment : After filling the circuit with the appropriate refrigerant, we tested the entire system to ensure that the heat pump would operate at full capacity, without leaks and with optimal efficiency.
-
Cleaning and Maintenance : Our technicians have thoroughly cleaned the indoor and outdoor units to ensure optimal air circulation. This cleaning is essential to prevent any buildup of dust or dirt that could hinder the proper functioning of the system.
