Expert Geothermal Maintenance
Geothermal heat pumps are efficient and reliable. They also require less maintenance than furnaces, air conditioners, and other HVAC systems. However, they still need annual maintenance to be performed by a licensed and insured HVAC technician. Ideally, this should be accomplished in the fall.
During a typical maintenance appointment, our technicians will turn the heat pump on to test the accuracy of readings, temperatures, refrigerant oil circulation, and other diagnostics. We will also check the flow rate, operational temperature, heat extraction/rejection, volts/amps, and other parameters to confirm the heat pump is operating efficiently. If necessary, we can also repressurize the ground loop.

There are many benefits to geothermal system maintenance that every homeowner should keep in mind. These include:

- Reliability: A well-maintained heat pump is far less likely to suffer a critical malfunction than a neglected system.
- Longevity: Maintaining your heat pump will extend the serviceable life span of the system, thus reducing your long-term repair and replacement costs.

Geothermal FAQs
Is geothermal heating & cooling worth it?
Absolutely! Geothermal heating and cooling systems are among the highest rated for efficiency and reliability. Their cost-effective operation and minimal maintenance costs will improve your comfort and reduce your utility bills year after year.
What is the life expectancy of a geothermal system?
Well-maintained and properly built geothermal heat pumps will typically last between 20 and 25 years. However, the ground loop can last 50 years or longer, so, in most instances, a new pump can be installed without having to replace the loop. By comparison, the highest quality furnaces fail between 15 to 20 years, and most air-source heat pumps typically last anywhere from 10 to 20 years.
Why is my geothermal not heating?
Geothermal systems can fail; when they do, there are many causes. Some of the most common include refrigerant leaks, dead capacitors, bad contactors, clogged condensate drains, and tripped breakers. Fortunately, most causes of geothermal heat pump failure are easy to diagnose and repair.
