Geothermal heat pumps are extremely energy efficient and typically do not use much electricity or energy. If you notice your monthly utility bills increasing with no other reasonable explanation, this is a very clear indication that your geothermal system is in need of repair.
Dirty filters are a very common source of geothermal power loss and failing efficiency. If your geothermal heat pump is not getting enough power, call (843) 466-6414 to have one of our certified technicians inspect your system.
Geothermal heating and cooling systems are generally a very quiet operation, so if you hear any type of loud noise coming from your heat pump, such as a rattling or banging noise, there is likely an internal issue with your system’s fan motor.
If your geothermal heat pump is older, it can produce wet patches along your yard where the loops are located underground. Fortunately, there are many methods that our team can use to detect and diagnose the issue in this situation.
Refrigerant leaks can cause frosting and ice to develop on the coils of your geothermal system. Consequently, this can cause a burning smell to occur from the ice and frost being melted and burned. If you notice a burning odor or frost building on the coils of your unit, schedule a geothermal repair immediately. This is an issue that requires immediate attention and can completely destroy your geothermal system if not dealt with in a timely manner!
On average, it takes about three to four weeks to complete a geothermal system repair. The timeline is determined by the complexity of the issue and the availability of parts and Howell-Chase Heating and Air Conditioning technicians. If the problem is more complex, it could potentially take up to eight weeks or more to complete the repair. Fortunately, you can rely on our expert team to provide you with a more accurate timeline upon the initial diagnosis.
Generally speaking, no special expertise is required to perform basic geothermal repair tasks. However, more complex repairs will require a professional technician from Howell-Chase Heating and Air Conditioning who has specialized knowledge and experience to troubleshoot the system and make any necessary repairs.
Geothermal repairs help maintain system efficiency, reduce energy costs, improve indoor air quality, and maximize the lifespan of your equipment. Additionally, they can help keep you comfortable all year round, no matter the Bluffton, SC weather!
