While geothermal heat pumps may initially seem complicated to service or troubleshoot for some technicians, with the right training, they will find that these systems are similar to conventional air-source heat pumps. That’s the word from Josh McClendon, water-source heat pump product support, Trane, an Ingersoll Rand brand.
“The maintenance required for geothermal systems is fairly straightforward and includes regular replacement of air filters, cleaning the condensate drain pan, checking the loop water pressure, and occasionally cleaning the heat exchanger coils,” McClendon said.
