Breathing New Life Into Trusted Mitsubishi Mini Splits
In the heart of Longueuil, Rive-Sud, we recently completed a repair and maintenance project on two Mitsubishi wall-mounted heat pumps. These trusted machines had been in service for years, ensuring comfort in all seasons. However, the passage of time had taken its toll. Both units faced a significant issue: a lack of refrigerant. With our expertise, we revived these dependable machines, restoring their functionality and ensuring they continue to serve their owners for years to come. Here’s the full story.
Understanding the Problem: Diagnosing the Freon Issue
Our service call began with a thorough inspection of the two Mitsubishi ductless heat pumps. These systems had been struggling to maintain optimal performance, and our initial diagnostic tests quickly confirmed the cause: both units were running low on Freon. Refrigerant is the lifeblood of any heat pump system, enabling the transfer of heat to cool or warm indoor spaces. Without adequate refrigerant levels, these systems can’t operate efficiently.
But low refrigerant levels often point to a deeper problem—a potential leak in the system. Our team set out to locate and address the root cause before simply refilling the gas.
Finding the Hidden Leaks
Leak detection requires precision and patience. Using state-of-the-art tools, we meticulously inspected the entire refrigerant circuit, from the evaporator coils to the outdoor unit’s connections. Sure enough, we discovered minor leaks in both systems—one near the indoor coil and another at a valve connection on the outdoor unit.
We immediately got to work sealing these leaks, ensuring no further loss of refrigerant. Our technicians used specialized sealants and reinforced connections to ensure a durable repair. This step is crucial because a temporary fix might leave customers facing the same problem down the road. At AirGreen, we prioritize solutions that stand the test of time.
Recharging the Systems: Restoring Cooling and Heating Power
With the leaks sealed, it was time to restore the machines to their full potential. Using high-quality refrigerant, we carefully recharged both units to the manufacturer’s specified levels. This step not only improves efficiency but also prevents strain on the compressor, extending the lifespan of the heat pumps.
As we completed this step, we ran a series of performance tests to ensure that both systems were functioning at peak efficiency. The difference was night and day—the Mitsubishi heat pumps were back to providing reliable cooling and heating, just as they had when they were first installed.
Customer Delight: A Cost-Effective Solution
The owners of these Mitsubishi systems were thrilled with the results. They had been worried that their machines were reaching the end of their lifespan and were considering replacing them entirely. However, our team was able to demonstrate that, with proper care and timely maintenance, these units still had years of reliable service left in them. This repair saved them the substantial cost of purchasing new systems while also reducing waste—a win-win for the customer and the environment.
