A Guide To Geothermal Energy Maintenance

By: Robbi Hess | Category: Blog, Preventative Maintenance

Are you concerned that if you invest in a geothermal energy system for your home, office or to heat and A Guide To Geothermal Energy Maintenancecool your swimming pool water that it will be difficult to maintain? The geothermal energy experts from Symbiont Service Corp in Englewood, Florida have put together a guide to geothermal energy maintenance of the unit.

A geothermal energy unit is relatively low-maintenance and much of the equipment is beneath the ground and that means it’s not exposed to the elements. In Florida, as you know, hurricanes are one of the elements with which we are faced and not having the heating and cooling unit exposed is ideal.

A Guide To Geothermal Energy Maintenance

Homeowners, business owners and those who heat and cool the pool water by using a geothermal unit have the benefit of low heating and low cooling and air conditioning costs. Saving money on air conditioning in the midst of a hot, humid Florida summer is a definite benefit to this type of energy.

As with any heating or cooling system, it will require regular maintenance to assure it’s working at its peak. A geothermal unit requires less maintenance than an air-source heat pump. There are some maintenance tasks associated with a geothermal system that a DIYer can do on his or her own. Just as you wouldn’t perform deep, in-depth maintenance on your HVAC unit, unless you were experienced, there will be those tasks and maintenance that are best left to an HVAC and geothermal professional.

When you’ve made the investment in a geothermal unit you certainly want to assure it is operational for as long as possible.

Here are some maintenance tasks that need to be performed on the geothermal unit:

  1. The air filters should be inspected regularly. The air filters will trap microscopic airborne particles and pet dander and gather on the filter. If the filter is dirty the geothermal unit will work harder, won’t be as efficient and will recirculate the particles back into the house. 
  2. Condensers will be checked and dust removed. A build-up of dust on a condenser makes the unit work harder. Algae could be in the condenser or condensation lines. Algae could appear black, yellow, brown or green. An approved algaecide should be used to clean the condensation pan. Your geothermal professional will also check the condensation line to assure the water is draining properly — if not it could indicate a blockage in the pipe that needs to be addressed. 
  3. Keep detailed records of the dates and extent of the maintenance performed on your geothermal unit by a professional. Chances are the technician will keep records, but it’s wise for you to keep your own records, especially if you switch technicians or you want to sell your home and the potential new owner wants information on the unit and its efficiency. These records may also contain recommended updates and upgrades your technician has noticed; that’s an ideal way for you to prepare for upcoming repairs it may require.

When choosing an HVAC provider in the Englewood, Florida area to perform maintenance on the geothermal unit, find one with a great reputation for quality installation, maintenance and satisfied customers. The geothermal technician should have training and knowledge to adjust any electrical or mechanical components necessary on a service visit. With regularly scheduled annual maintenance visits, the geothermal unit will last for years and operate at peak efficiency.
