Geothermal Heat Pump Maintenance

Eleven Maintenance Checks for Your Geothermal Heat Pump System:

Because ground source heat pumps extract heat from a sealed ground source heat exchanger, they operating in a very consistent environment. However, professional maintenance and a complete system check will ensure that your HVAC is both efficient and reliable. These are primary system components we will evaluate and service as necessary:

Initial visual inspections: Is the system clean? Is there evidence of loop system or condensation leaks? Is all the control and power wiring secure?
Controls: Is your thermostat set properly? If it has a battery, we will change it now. If you have a programmable thermostat, review it's programming to ensure that your thermostat is calling for AC.
Ducted system air filters: Clean air filters are a must for both indoor air quality and system efficiency. If your system has disposal filters we'll replace them now. If they are permanent filters we'll clean them.
Indoor coil: The indoor coil transfers heat to or from your ground loop. We'll inspect the indoor coil and clean if necessary.
Check indoor airflow: We'll make sure that your ductwork is secure, insulated well sealed. We verify that most grills and registers throughout your conditioned space are open and free of obstructions.
Your compressor: This is the heart of your system. We'll check compressor amperage to ensure efficient operation. We'll also check other electrical controls including the contractor, controls system and system capacitors.
Indoor blower motor: We'll check the amperage on your indoor air blower motor. We check the condition of your indoor blower wheel and clean if necessary.
Ground loop system: The beauty of your geothermal heat pump is that it extracts heat from the temperate conditions a few feet below the ground's surface (or vertical drill loops) via a pipe network and a pumped water solution. We check the loop pressure and system pump.
Condensation or moisture: A critical part of you heat pump conditioning is summer humidity control. Water is produced as a byproduct of AC operation. We'll check the condensation system including and drains or condensation pumps.
Complete operating check: After service, we'll start and operate your geothermal heat pump in both heating and cooling modes. We'll document system voltages and temperature rises across the indoor coil and ground loop.
Clean-up and Report: We'll carefully clean our work area. We will provide written documentation of our service and not any areas of concern.
