Reliable Geothermal Heat Pump Repairs in Champaign, IL

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.

“Brant was super professional very knowledgeable about our system. After diagnosis of the problem, was very transparent about our options for the repair. Very prompt for the appointment and quotes for repair. Would recommend Hoveln for heating and cooling needs.”

“As Hoveln customers since 2003, we’ve been very happy with their service and communication. The technicians always call with an ETA, and the company calls to schedule the yearly service (one less thing to remember!). When we’ve had to call for service (only twice all these years) they have gotten us on the books quickly.

Hoveln recently replaced our whole system, and we had no complaints from sales through installation. The install team that came was respectful of the property, used shoe covers/floor cloths along the whole path, and cleaned up when they were done. They also called a few days later to see if there were any issues!”

- Bob M.

“We recently purchased a 20-year-old home with an aging geothermal system that needed replacement. Timing was critical to ensure the new system was installed shortly after closing, especially with the busy Thanksgiving week and the approaching deadline for the 2024 federal tax credits. Hoveln Heating & Cooling exceeded all expectations.

From our initial contact through the final decision, the process moved remarkably quickly. Despite the busy season with the first cold spell of the year, Brant Hoveln made time for us to visit their office, where he carefully walked us through our options. He was thorough and patient, ensuring we selected the best unit for our home.

The installation process was seamless. The technical team worked continuously, swiftly, and professionally. They left the work area spotless—without a trace of their presence—and completed the installation in just six hours. Punctual and highly skilled, they were supported by both Brant Hoveln and the owner, Jeff Hoveln, who were on-site to oversee the process.

The new geothermal system has been a game-changer. It’s incredibly quiet, maintains a perfectly comfortable climate, and operates with impressive efficiency. We had the chance to experience the old system for one night, and the difference with the new unit is remarkable.

Customer service has been excellent. The team is highly responsive by both email and phone, ensuring all our questions and concerns were addressed promptly.

Overall, we couldn’t be more satisfied with Hoveln Heating & Cooling. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise make them a company we would confidently recommend to others.”

“Our Water Furnace unit had stopped blowing cool air. We contacted Hoveln on a Wednesday morning, and a technician came out that afternoon. His diagnostics showed a failed compressor, which he said was very rare but they would order a replacement. A compressor is an expensive part. Hoveln then sent out another technician on Friday to confirm the diagnosis. After considerable testing and consultation with the manufacturer, it was determined that the problem was not the compressor, but a controller for the compressor. That controller had a history of failures, and Hoveln replaced it under warranty. Even though the warranty had expired. We were only charged for one service call. Needless to say, we are very happy with the way Hoveln handled this problem.
We have been Hoveln customers for many years, and plan to remain so for many more.”

- Gary G.

“Hoveln again did a wonderful job. We had issues during the holiday season and they responded quickly to us and worked hard to diagnose the issue. Jeff, Sheri, Chris and Brant did a great job communicating and constantly followed up with us to be sure the problem was resolved. They are always fair, honest, and courteous.”

- Amy J.

“The team from Hoveln did a difficult, two-day installation of a replacement geothermal unit, which has performed splendidly. I couldn't be happier with the service and the product.”

- Elizabeth S.

“We have been customers of Hoveln Heating and Cooling since 2008. Could not be more pleased with their professionalism and service. Our technician is Brant and he does an outstanding job and is very friendly and courteous.”
