Geothermal Heat Pump Maintenance

Routine maintenance is the key to keeping your geothermal system efficient, reliable, and worry-free.

At BPM Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, we provide professional geothermal maintenance for all types of ground-source heat pumps. Whether you have a horizontal loop, vertical boreholes, or a pond loop, our team ensures your system runs cleanly and efficiently all year long.

Why Geothermal Maintenance Matters

Geothermal systems are known for their durability, but that doesn’t mean they’re maintenance-free. Annual service helps:

  • Maximize heating and cooling efficiency
  • Prevent ground loop flow restrictions
  • Catch electrical or sensor issues early
  • Extend system lifespan (25+ years for units, 50+ years for loops)
  • Maintain eligibility for manufacturer warranties and rebates

Regular, scheduled maintenance can help you avoid costly geothermal repairs down the line.

What We Do During a Tune-Up

Our geothermal maintenance service includes:

  • Checking loop pressure and flow rate
  • Inspecting and testing the circulation pump
  • Verifying refrigerant charge and heat transfer efficiency
  • Inspecting electrical connections, sensors, and relays
  • Cleaning air filters, coils, and condensate lines
  • Verifying desuperheater function (if installed)
  • Testing the thermostat and control board for proper operation
  • Recording system performance metrics for future reference

Whether your system is ducted or hydronic, we tailor the tune-up to your equipment and installation type.

We maintain:

  • Closed-loop vertical systems
  • Closed-loop horizontal systems
  • Pond/lake loop systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you’re dealing with an unexpected breakdown, planning a new installation, or just trying to stay ahead of seasonal maintenance, it’s normal to have a few questions. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common ones our customers ask — to help you feel more confident about your system.

How often should I service my geothermal system?

Once a year is recommended to check refrigerant, loop flow, and electrical operation.

Reduced heating/cooling, strange noises, increased energy use, or frequent cycling are all red flags.

Absolutely. We often catch small issues early that would otherwise lead to system lockouts or major part failure.

We test and verify loop pressure and flow. If there are signs of blockage or leaks, we address them immediately.

What Is a Geothermal Heat Pump System?

A geothermal heat pump system uses the constant temperature of the ground to heat and cool a home. It transfers heat to or from the earth using buried loops.
