5 Signs You Need Geothermal Repairs
When your geothermal HVAC system breaks down, it won’t take long for your home to become quite uncomfortable, depending on the time of year. To avoid a complete breakdown, call our experts for repairs as soon as you notice any of the following signs of a problem:
- Poor heating or cooling performance: If your system is having trouble keeping the proper temperature or the temperatures are uneven form room to room, it can be a sign of a problem that requires professional attention.
- Frequent cycling: During normal operation, your geothermal heat pump will turn on and off to maintain your desired temperature, but it shouldn’t happen often.
- Frozen coils: If your evaporator coil freezes up or you notice frost on the compressor or refrigerant lines, this can indicate issues like poor airflow or low refrigerant levels.
- Unusual noises or smells: Noises like grinding or buzzing may indicate a mechanical problem with the system, while musty or sour odors may signal bacterial contamination.
- High utility bills: If your electricity bills suddenly increase, especially combined with reduced heating or cooling performance, your system is likely struggling to meet demands.
Our Emergency Geothermal Heat Pump Repair Services
Once you notice a problem with your geothermal heat pump, it’s best to call for repairs right away. Not only can this prevent you from being without heating or cooling, but it can also avoid further damage to your system. For instance, if the issue is related to low refrigerant levels or a frozen evaporator, a delay in repairs could lead to compressor damage. Some of the most common heat pump issues include:
- Refrigerant leaks
- Frozen coils
- Clogged condensate drains
- Faulty thermostats
- Faulty reversing valves
- Defective capacitors
- Faulty relays or contactors
- Blower motor failures

FAQs
Why won’t my geothermal system switch to the right mode?
Geothermal heat pumps use a reversing valve to reroute the flow of refrigerant. The valve swaps the roles of the condenser and evaporator to switch from heating to cooling and back again. If this valve fails, your system will be stuck in one mode or the other.
Why does my geothermal HVAC take so long to kick in?
They can take longer to produce heated or cooled air because they must first exchange heat with the ground loop. But if the process is taking longer than normal, you may have a dirty air filter, dirty coils, a frozen coil, a restriction in the ground loop, or other issues that need the help of an HVAC professional to solve.
