A Remarkable Turnaround: From "Unrepairable" to Thriving Again
When it comes to HVAC repairs, not every company is willing to take on the seemingly impossible. At AirGreen, we thrive on challenges, and our recent service call in Anjou proved just that. The project involved an LG Ductless Mini Split Heat Pump that the customer had all but given up on. They believed the machine was beyond repair, but with our expertise, we uncovered the real issue, bringing it back to life and leaving another delighted customer in our wake.
Understanding the Machine: The LG Mini Split Heat Pump
LG's ductless mini split systems are renowned for their sleek design, energy efficiency, and versatility. This particular model was ideal for the homeowner's needs, offering whisper-quiet operation and advanced features like:
- Inverter technology for optimized energy use.
- Dual cooling and heating modes, perfect for Montreal’s fluctuating seasons.
- A compact design that fits seamlessly into residential spaces.
Despite its reputation for reliability, even the best systems can experience issues, especially if neglected or improperly maintained. That’s where we stepped in.
The Call for Help: A Machine on Its Last Leg?
When the homeowner in Anjou reached out to us, they were skeptical. “I’ve been told it’s unrepairable,” they explained, describing how the system had suddenly stopped functioning. Their frustration was evident—several service providers had attempted repairs but failed to diagnose the problem correctly.
This wasn’t just a machine in need of fixing; it was a family relying on the comfort of their home. For us, this was more than a job—it was a chance to restore peace of mind.
Our Inspection Process: Leaving No Stone Unturned
From the moment we arrived, we approached the issue systematically:
- Visual Inspection: We checked the outdoor and indoor units for visible damage or wear.
- Electrical Diagnosis: Using specialized equipment, we tested the system’s connections and circuit boards.
- Airflow Analysis: We ensured no blockages were obstructing airflow.
- Refrigerant Check: Low refrigerant levels can be a common culprit in performance issues.
It was during this comprehensive inspection that we discovered the root cause—a malfunctioning sensor that had gone undetected by previous technicians. This small yet critical component was preventing the system from functioning, and many had missed it.
The Fix: Bringing an LG Heat Pump Back to Life
Once we pinpointed the faulty sensor, our experienced technicians got to work. Here’s what the repair process entailed:
- Replacing the Sensor: Using manufacturer-approved parts, we replaced the damaged sensor, ensuring compatibility and longevity.
- System Optimization: We recalibrated the system to operate at peak efficiency.
- Thorough Testing: Before leaving, we ran the heat pump through its paces, ensuring seamless performance in both heating and cooling modes.
The result? A fully operational heat pump that was as good as new.
