Q: Do services include refrigerant checks?

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

Q: Is a geothermal heat pump worth it?

You can save about 70% on heating costs in the winter and around 50% on cooling costs in the summer with a geothermal heat pump compared to a traditional HVAC system. Over time, your savings on monthly utilities will pay for the cost of the geothermal heat pump installation. If you have an incredibly small yard, however, you may not have enough space for this type of system. </p></div>

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>
