Comprehensive Geothermal Maintenance Programs
Annual Maintenance Visits:
Our comprehensive annual maintenance visits provide complete system evaluation and service that addresses all aspects of geothermal operation. These visits include ground loop system testing, heat pump component inspection, control system evaluation, and performance optimization to ensure continued peak efficiency and reliability.
Seasonal Service Options:
Seasonal service options recognize that geothermal systems operate year-round and benefit from attention before peak heating and cooling seasons. Spring service prepares cooling components for summer operation, while fall service ensures heating components are ready for winter demands.
Performance Monitoring:
Performance monitoring as part of our maintenance programs tracks system efficiency and identifies developing issues before they affect comfort or cause component damage. This monitoring helps optimize system operation while providing early warning of potential problems.
Ground Loop System Maintenance
Circulation System Inspection:
Circulation system inspection includes testing pumps, checking flow rates, and verifying proper circulation through all portions of the ground loop. Adequate circulation is critical for optimal heat transfer and system efficiency, making this inspection a crucial component of geothermal maintenance.
Heat Transfer Fluid Analysis:
Heat transfer fluid analysis involves testing the antifreeze solution that circulates through ground loops for proper concentration, pH levels, and contamination. This fluid analysis helps identify potential problems before they affect system performance or cause component damage.
Pressure Testing:
Pressure testing verifies system integrity and identifies potential leaks in underground piping that could cause loss of heat transfer fluid and reduced performance. Early leak detection allows for timely repairs that prevent major system problems.
Heat Pump Component Maintenance
Refrigeration System Maintenance:
Refrigeration system maintenance includes checking refrigerant levels, testing for leaks, and verifying proper system pressures and temperatures. While geothermal systems typically have fewer refrigeration problems than conventional systems, regular monitoring helps identify issues early.
Compressor Maintenance:
Compressor maintenance includes checking electrical connections, measuring electrical consumption, and testing operational parameters to ensure optimal compressor performance. Geothermal compressors typically last longer than conventional compressors due to gentler operating conditions.
Heat Exchanger Service:
Heat exchanger cleaning and inspection ensures optimal heat transfer between the refrigeration system and ground loop fluid. Clean heat exchangers operate more efficiently and help maintain system capacity and performance.
