Geothermal heat pumps, akin to air source heat pumps that extract heat from the outside air, harness low-level solar heat from the ground or bodies of water to regulate home temperatures. At Aire Serv of Jacksonville, our expertise in geothermal heat pump installation, repair, and maintenance covers the four primary types of geothermal HVAC systems:
- Horizontal loop
- Vertical loop
- Pond/lake
- Open loop
Geothermal Heat Pump Installation
The path to a successful geothermal heat pump system installation varies based on your chosen to make and model. Aire Serv of Jacksonville experts can assist you through every phase, from initial investigation to installation and ongoing maintenance. Ultimately, three crucial components must be installed or retrofitted for a complete system: the heat pump (air handler, geothermal exchanger, etc.), the closed- or open-loop system, and the ductwork or distribution system.
Our Geothermal Heat Pump Repair Service
While the underground piping, with essentially no moving parts, can endure for many decades without issues, the heat pump unit and thermostat require maintenance and occasional repairs. Common geothermal system issues include leaks, broken fan blades, scale buildup, malfunctioning valves, and motor problems. Our seasoned HVAC technicians are well-equipped to handle any maintenance or repair needs.
Heat Pump Replacement Service
When repair is no longer feasible, entrust your Aire Serv of Jacksonville technician to expertly replace your unit. Unlike standard HVAC systems, replacing the underground components of a geothermal heating and cooling system poses unique challenges, and the approach will vary based on the existing system and chosen replacement.
Geothermal HVAC Maintenance
Similar to all HVAC systems, the efficiency and lifespan of your geothermal HVAC unit hinge on regular maintenance. During an annual preventative maintenance appointment, your technician will ensure the heat pump/heat exchanger is in optimal condition, check seals and connections, inspect for leaks, verify thermostat function, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are All Heat Pumps Geothermal?
No. Heat pumps may be air source, geothermal (ground- or water-source), or hybrid.
How Does a Geothermal Heat Pump Work?
Geothermal heat pumps harness solar energy from below the earth’s surface or bodies of water to heat homes. In cooling mode, they absorb hot, humid air and move it underground to cool and dehumidify homes.
Do Geothermal Heat Pumps Work in Cold Climates?
Yes, and more efficiently than air-source heat pumps. Geothermal heat pumps are an excellent, highly efficient option for homeowners in cold or four-season climates.
