Geothermal heating units are designed to be energy-saving, pollutant-reducing HVAC systems. But they aren\u2019t without issues. These common problems could be solved with simple geothermal heating repair<\/a> and bring back much-needed comfort to your home and family. Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Heat Pump Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two different types of heat pumps for geothermal heating systems: air heat pumps and ground heat pumps. Regardless of which type you have, the most common heat pump problems come down to your compressor and fan issues in a ducted system. If you\u2019re curious about the unique components of heat pumps, check out what makes a heat pump different from an AC<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s not as common, antifreeze leaks are also possible. This can result in a drop in home comfort, although it may not be apparent at first. Antifreeze leaks may worsen as a slow leak before you realize. It\u2019s important to get a technician to take a look at your geothermal heating system if you suspect any antifreeze leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaking in the Ground Loop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It can be relatively easy to find out that you have a leak; it\u2019s just finding where it is that\u2019s the hard part. If you notice inconsistencies in your heating and cooling power or you notice freezing on the indoor coils, that means you likely have a ground loop leak. For more signs of common heating issues, see several reasons your heater isn\u2019t working<\/a> to pinpoint possible problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A technician will use a colored dye, feed it into the ground loop, and use it to locate the source of the leak. From there you can expect to see how big the leak is. The dye will help your technician find the source and patch it up appropriately. If all goes well, they\u2019ll only have to dig a small hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harsh Scale Build-Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hard water comes with its own set of problems. If your geothermal system uses hard water, calcified minerals will build up and cause blockage. It can solidify in your ground loop or in your heat pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scale is the tough, white substance made up of mineral deposits from the water. This repair requires an acid flush, however it\u2019s not something you should handle on your own. Certain chemical mixes can damage the solder on welded joints within your geothermal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If removing calcification comes at the cost of causing long-term damage to your heating system, it simply isn\u2019t worth it. Your repair technician will be equipped with the right tools and solvents for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ductwork Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even with geothermal heating, you still need ductwork to carry air throughout your home. Ductwork problems are either related to clogged air filters that need to be changed, or leaks in the ducts themselves. You want clean air coming into the system with no duct leaks when it\u2019s delivered throughout your home. Change your filters and be wary of any rooms that don\u2019t feel like they\u2019re being heated sufficiently. If airflow issues persist, you might also explore why your heater may stay on too long<\/a> as a possible concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
