Types of Geothermal HVAC Systems
We specialize in the installation, repair, and maintenance of the four major types of geothermal HVAC systems at Aire Serv of Greater Florence:
- Horizontal Loop: This system involves burying pipes horizontally in your yard to exchange heat with the ground.
- Vertical Loop: Vertical loops are used when space is limited, and pipes are buried vertically to extract or deposit heat.
- Pond/Lake: This method utilizes a nearby body of water, such as a pond or lake, to exchange heat with the geothermal system.
- Open Loop: Open-loop systems draw water from a well or another source, circulate it through the heat pump, and then discharge it back into the ground or a surface water body.
Geothermal Heat Pump Installation
Installing a geothermal heat pump system may differ depending on the make and model. From the initial assessment to installation and ongoing maintenance, your local Aire Serv team will walk you through the process. The key components of your system will be the heat pump (air handler, geothermal exchanger, etc.), the closed- or open-loop system, and the ductwork or distribution system.
Geothermal Heat Pump Repair
While the underground piping in geothermal systems is typically low-maintenance, the heat pump unit and thermostat can develop problems over time. Leaks, damaged fan blades, scale buildup, stuck valves, and motor issues are common. Our skilled HVAC technicians can handle repairs and maintenance on any system component, ensuring that your geothermal heat pump continues to operate efficiently.
Heat Pump Replacement Service
When repair is no longer an option, our Aire Serv technicians are skilled at replacing your geothermal heat pump unit. Replacement of underground components may present different challenges, but we have the tools and expertise to handle them effectively.
