Schedule geothermal heat pump tune-up

Why It Matters

Geothermal systems trade an outdoor unit for a buried loop field, but the indoor equipment still needs annual attention: refrigerant charge, loop pump function, and antifreeze concentration all drift over time.

How to Do It

1. In late summer or early fall, contact a licensed HVAC technician with documented geothermal experience to schedule the annual tune-up before heating season begins.
2. When booking, confirm the technician will check refrigerant charge, clean the indoor coil, test the loop pump, and verify the antifreeze concentration in the ground loop.
3. On the day of the visit, clear access to the indoor air handler and any accessible loop pump components so the technician can work without delay.
4. After the visit, ask the technician for a written summary of findings, including current refrigerant charge, antifreeze concentration, and any components flagged for future attention.
