Expert Repair of a SANYO Wall-Mounted Heat Pump in Laval
Discover how we turned an underperforming SANYO heat pump in Laval back into a reliable source of comfort for our customer, ensuring peak efficiency year-round.
Take a tour of the installation
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.

Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
Bringing Back Peak Performance to Your Trusted Heat Pump
In the heart of Laval, where weather conditions can be unpredictable, homeowners rely heavily on their heat pumps to maintain comfort throughout the year. When one of our long-time customers reached out, distressed about their underperforming SANYO wall-mounted heat pump, we knew we had to act swiftly to restore both warmth and cool air to their home.
The Problem: A SANYO Heat Pump That Was Letting Them Down
Our client reported that their SANYO wall-mounted heat pump was struggling to keep up, leaving their home either too cold or too warm. As an HVAC system designed to deliver both efficient cooling in the summer and reliable heating in the winter, a malfunctioning heat pump can throw a serious wrench into household comfort. Upon hearing about the problem, we immediately scheduled a comprehensive diagnostic inspection to determine the root cause.
Common Symptoms Noticed:
- Inadequate heating during the coldest nights
- A struggle to cool down rooms in the summer heat
- An unusual drop in performance, leaving the home uncomfortable
Our goal was clear: identify the issue, implement an effective solution, and get the system back to running like new.
The Inspection: Unearthing the Culprit
Armed with our specialized tools and expertise, our experienced technicians arrived on-site and got to work. Heat pumps like the SANYO model are known for their durability and efficiency, but even the best systems can encounter problems over time.
The Diagnostic Process:
- Visual Check: First, we conducted a thorough visual inspection of the indoor and outdoor units. We checked for visible signs of wear, damage, or blockage.
- Refrigerant Analysis: Next, we tested the refrigerant levels. In this case, it didn’t take long to discover that the refrigerant, or freon, was alarmingly low—a clear indicator of a leak.
- System Pressure Test: We conducted a pressure test, pinpointing a small but significant leak that was responsible for the system's inability to maintain optimal performance.
The Solution: Leak Repair and Freon Recharge
Once the leak was located, our next step was to repair it to prevent further issues. Using industry-standard techniques, we sealed the leak, ensuring that the system would hold its refrigerant levels moving forward.
Recharging the System:
- We added the necessary freon to bring the heat pump back up to factory-recommended levels.
- Our team then performed a thorough check to confirm that the pressure was stable and no further leaks were present.
The Result: Like Brand New Again!
After the repair and recharge, we tested the heat pump under different conditions to ensure everything was working perfectly. The difference was night and day!
Performance Improvements:
- The customer reported a drastic improvement in both heating and cooling capabilities.
- The home was now evenly heated and cooled, with no uncomfortable hot or cold spots.
- The system was running quietly and efficiently, just like when it was first installed.
The transformation was immediate. The heat pump, once a source of frustration, became a reliable companion for our client once more.

Your own project, step by step
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
