Geothermal Maintenance

A geothermal system is a relatively simple system of pipes and a condenser that provides efficient home heating and cooling. But, without proper maintenance that system can easily go into disrepair. If ignored, a system designed to last for as long as 25 years may quickly be worn out and need replacement – something that costs thousands of dollars.

To avoid the added cost of excess repairs and eventual replacement, contact Efficient Systems Heating & Air Conditioning and learn how our Beaumont, TX area geothermal technicians can provide you with long term maintenance designed to keep your geothermal system up and running for years to come.

Regular Geothermal Maintenance Needs

The geothermal heat pump in your system is essentially the same as a standard heat pump. It has a number of filters and condensers that need to be cleaned regularly for everything to stay running smoothly.

Disposable filters must be replaced on a regular basis – usually every six months to a year – and your non–disposable filters must be carefully cleaned and turned so they do not become clogged and put a burden on your system. While most geothermal systems use very little if any fuel or electricity, clogging leads to excess energy use and a drop in overall efficiency inside your home.

The condenser coils themselves need to be cleaned regularly as well. This is important to avoid any backup or loss of energy between the pipes and the air being pumped through. Uneven heating or cooling in your home or a loss of integrity is often a cause of condenser coil problems in your heat pump.

The ductwork is another aspect of your geothermal system that must be maintained regularly. It should be checked to ensure there are no cracks or leaks and that the system is delivering all air across your home. We also check your pipes to make sure no roots appear nearby and that the system is working effectively year–round.
