Q: Are there downsides to using a geothermal heat pump for floor heating?

• <div><p>The most obvious downside is the high upfront cost of buying and installing one of these systems. Additionally, sometimes the system can take a longer time to heat than alternatives like a boiler. Also, if something goes wrong with the geothermal pump, repairs are often significantly more expensive than repairing traditional, above-ground heat pumps. </p></div>

Q: What are common geothermal system issues?

• <div><p>Leaks, poor airflow, reduced efficiency, and loop blockages are common problems requiring service.</p></div>

Q: Do NATE-certified technicians cost more?

• <div><p>NATE-certified technicians may charge slightly higher service fees compared to non-certified technicians. This is because NATE certification signifies a higher level of expertise and professionalism, often leading to more efficient and effective HVAC repairs and installations. While the upfront cost may be marginally higher, NATE-certified technicians can potentially save you money in the long run by reducing energy consumption, preventing frequent breakdowns, and extending the life span of your HVAC system. When looking for a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/hvac-companies/">local HVAC company to hire</a>, it never hurts to ask about NATE certifications. </p></div>
