The Mistake an Electrician Made with a Heat Pump Wiring (and How We Fixed It)

A Successful Intervention Thanks to AirGreen's Expertise

At AirGreen, we know that a well-done heat pump installation goes far beyond just the equipment itself. It relies on a combination of technical skills, thorough analysis, and a deep understanding of our customers’ needs. Today, we’re sharing the story of an installation that required our expertise after an electrician made an error with the wiring of a heat pump.

The Importance of Correct Wiring for Optimal Heat Pump Performance

Wiring a heat pump, whether it's a wall-mounted heat pump or a more complex system, must be done with extreme precision. A small overlooked detail, like an incorrect electrical connection, can cause significant malfunctions, affecting the device’s performance and even its lifespan. A customer from Montréal recently contacted us after experiencing issues with their Fujitsu KZAH R-32 heat pump.

The Initial Problem: An Incorrect Installation

At first glance, everything seemed fine. The electrician in charge of the installation had completed their work quickly, but after a few days of use, the heat pump started showing signs of malfunction. The system wasn't responding correctly to temperature adjustments, and the noise seemed unusually high. We were called in to intervene and diagnose the situation.

Upon inspection, we discovered that the electrician had made an incorrect electrical connection, causing intermittent overloads and poor contact between the power wires and the outdoor unit of the heat pump. This mistake not only affected the Fujitsu heat pump's performance but also posed a safety risk to the installation.

AirGreen’s Intervention: Correcting a Professional Mistake

Upon our arrival, we conducted a thorough system diagnosis to determine the exact cause of the issue. We first checked the integrity of the electrical connections and found that the electrician had incorrectly wired the power cables, leading to excessive heat at the electrical components. This affected the power supply to the system and temperature regulation.

To fix this, we had to perform a full re-wiring of the electrical connections according to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring a stable and safe power supply to the heat pump. We also checked the communication systems between the indoor and outdoor units to ensure they were properly synchronized.

A Tailored Solution for Optimal Results

Once the electrical wiring was corrected, we conducted a series of tests to ensure that the heat pump system was working optimally. The customer immediately noticed a significant improvement in the unit’s performance: the temperature was regulated evenly, and the noise from the system had disappeared.
