Do You Have a Geothermal Heat Pump in Bucks County? We’re the Service Experts

Why Should I Switch to Geothermal Heating and Cooling?

• Better Energy Efficiency — By leveraging the earth’s stable underground temperatures, geothermal systems are an incredibly energy-efficient HVAC alternative. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, homeowners with geothermal heat pumps use up to 44% less energy than traditional heat pumps and up to 72% less energy than other AC equipment.
• Cost Savings — While the upfront price of a geothermal installation may be high, the long-term savings on utility bills can offset this investment in just a few years. Plus, many local, state, and federal programs offer tax credits or rebates for installing geothermal systems.
• Reliability and Longevity — Enjoy longer periods between HVAC replacements! Geothermal heating and cooling units last 20–25 years, while underground loops can last over 50 years. That’s because they have fewer moving parts and are housed indoors away from destructive outdoor elements.
• Versatile Yet Consistent — Geothermal systems can heat, cool, and even provide hot water, which makes them a comprehensive climate control solution. Homeowners can benefit from a steady indoor temperature without the fluctuations of traditional systems. These units even provide better air distribution and help eliminate drafts.
• Improved Indoor Air Quality — You’re less likely to be exposed to carbon monoxide or other indoor air pollutants if your HVAC unit uses geothermal energy and not combustion to warm and cool your space.

What Can Go Wrong with My Geothermal Heat Pump?

Geothermal units provide an efficient and long-lasting way to heat and cool your home. But like any system, they require proper care to maintain their overall performance. Here’s what you need to know about your future heat pump:

Care Requirements

• It’s important to check filters and replace them monthly for better airflow.
• Schedule annual maintenance with an HVAC contractor who can inspect your ductwork, refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and heat exchange coils.
• A professional should also check the underground loop for any leaks or troublesome blockages.

Common Repair Problems

• Refrigerant leaks can reduce efficiency and damage internal components of your geothermal cooling and heating system.
• Mechanical wear or electrical issues like pump or compressor malfunctions may require heat pump repairs or replacements.
• While not as common, ground loop leaks can occur. This typically happens by ground shifting.
• Clogs like dirt in the flow center or electrical failures like faulty wiring can disrupt your geothermal heating system’s ability to function.

Preventative Tips

• Always look out for uneven heating, cooling, or increased energy bills. These can signal issues like refrigerant leaks, clogged ductwork, malfunctioning compressors, or problems with your heat pump’s circulation system.
• Due to their indoor installation and durable design, geothermal cooling and heating systems require less maintenance than conventional HVAC systems. However, it’s still a good idea to enroll in an HVAC maintenance plan to catch problems early.
