Refrigerant leaks
Corroded coils and fittings leak slowly, leaving the system short of capacity.
Damp inlet air is tough on coils, wiring and fan motors. Able Pro tracks down leaks and corrosion-related faults in Port Moody heat pumps and repairs them properly.
No heat, no hot water or a gas smell? Call any time, day or night.
Port Moody's location at the end of Burrard Inlet is beautiful, but it is hard on outdoor equipment. Moisture and salt settle on coils and electrical parts year-round, so many of the faults we find here trace back to corrosion: pinhole refrigerant leaks in the coil, rusted contactor terminals that cause intermittent shutdowns, and fan motors with seized bearings. Good heat pump repair in Port Moody means finding that underlying damage, not just resetting the system.
We use electronic leak detectors, nitrogen pressure testing and electrical testing to confirm what failed. Then we explain whether a repair will hold or whether corrosion has gone far enough that replacement deserves a look, and quote accordingly.
Moisture and terrain shape the problems we see most here.
Corroded coils and fittings leak slowly, leaving the system short of capacity.
Rusty terminals and contactors cause the unit to stop and start unpredictably.
Moisture-damaged bearings make noise before the motor finally seizes.
Mould-packed blower wheels in ductless units restrict airflow and trigger errors.
Biofilm clogs condensate lines and sends water down walls and into ceilings.
Damp conditions can affect sensors and connections, triggering fault codes.
We repair heat pumps throughout Port Moody. Homes in Ioco and along the waterfront in Klahanie and Moody Centre see the most corrosion-related failures. Condos in Suter Brook and near the stations often call us for ductless drain leaks and error codes.
On Heritage Mountain, in College Park, Glenayre and Pleasantside, we also see fan and motor wear on shaded, damp hillside lots.
Call us any hour or book online with a description of the symptoms.
We test for leaks, check electrical parts and inspect for corrosion damage.
You get a written quote, and an honest view on whether repair will last.
Leaks are fixed before recharging, and the system is tested under load.
We find and fix leaks before recharging, rather than topping up and hoping.
We tell you if corrosion means a repair will not last.
You approve all repair costs before work begins.
Someone is on call day and night for urgent problems.
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Adding refrigerant without fixing the leak only buys time, and the leak usually gets worse. We locate the leak, repair it, then evacuate and recharge to specification so the system holds its charge.
Signs include white or green powder on fins and fittings, flaking metal, rusty cabinet panels and gradually weaker heating or cooling. We inspect the coil and test for leaks to confirm.
On a younger system, replacing the coil can make sense. On an older unit with widespread corrosion, the cost of a coil plus labour may be better put toward a new system. We lay out both options.
Yes, because water can damage your suite and the one below. Turn the unit off and call us. The cause is often a clogged drain line or a failed condensate pump.
