Geothermal systems are among the most reliable HVAC options available when properly installed and maintained. Their reliability stems from their design, which protects them from exposure to extreme temperatures.
Unlike traditional air conditioners or air source heat pumps, geothermal systems are housed indoors, shielding them from harsh outdoor conditions. Additionally, since they transfer heat, geothermal systems avoid the high heat generated by fuel combustion, a common factor in traditional furnaces.
Even though they are extremely reliable, your geothermal heating and cooling system will eventually break down. But do not worry-our experienced technicians are there to help get your system back up and running quickly.
Why Choose Hoveln Heating and Cooling?
Hoveln Heating and Cooling specializes in geothermal system repair and maintenance. Our team possesses in-depth knowledge of these systems and has installed, repaired, and maintained geothermal loops and heat pumps around Champaign, IL, for over four decades.
We know how to troubleshoot below-ground loops and above-ground heat pumps and will recommend the most effective solution, whether a repair or replacement.
Underground Loop Concerns
The underground loop is the heart of your geothermal system and rarely requires intervention during its 50-year or more lifespan. However, accidental damage may occur during landscaping or construction projects, leading to leaky pipes. With the correct pipe and tools stocked in our vehicles, we can find the leak and repair it properly.
Other potential loop-related problems include low-pressure or water quality issues. Low pressure hinders efficient heat transfer, affecting your system's ability to maintain desired temperatures.
Fortunately, there are ways to fix the problem and prevent it from reoccurring without digging underground. Water quality issues can be treated, but in extreme cases, we might need to flush your loop and add new water and antifreeze to the system.
