Fall is the ideal time to make sure your geothermal system is ready for the heating season ahead.
A few simple homeowner checks can help maintain airflow, comfort and efficiency, while professional maintenance can help identify developing issues before colder weather arrives. For ECS Geothermal customers, a GEOCARE Service Agreement makes that seasonal maintenance easier to plan and manage.
Fall Geothermal Maintenance Checklist
Check Your Air Filter
Start with the basics. A dirty filter can restrict airflow and cause your system to work harder.
Before heating season:
• Check the condition of your filter.
• Replace it if needed.
• Make sure you are using the correct size and type.
• Continue checking it regularly throughout the winter.
Replacement filters are also available through the ECS Geothermal website.
Test Your Thermostat
• Switch your thermostat to heating mode before the first cold morning and make sure your system responds normally.
• Check for unusual readings, fault messages or unexpected Emergency Heat operation.
• If you use WaterFurnace Symphony, this is also a good time to confirm that your Wi-Fi connection and remote-access features are working properly.
Check Your Vents and Airflow
• Make sure supply registers and return-air grilles are not blocked by furniture, rugs or other household items.
• Good airflow helps your geothermal system operate efficiently and distribute heat evenly throughout your home.
Pay Attention to System Performance
When your system begins heating regularly, watch for anything that seems different from previous seasons, including:
• Unusual noises
• Reduced airflow
• Uneven heating
• Longer operating cycles
• Thermostat warnings
• Unexpected energy-use increases
• Moisture around indoor equipment
If something does not seem right, it is better to have it checked before the coldest part of winter. Contact Us to Schedule Service,
Where GEOCARE Fits In.
Homeowner maintenance is important, but it does not replace professional geothermal system care.
A GEOCARE Service Agreement gives ECS customers a more convenient way to stay ahead of routine maintenance instead of waiting until a problem develops.
Depending on the plan selected, GEOCARE can include scheduled preventative maintenance, system inspections and other service benefits designed to help maintain reliable system performance.
Why Consider GEOCARE This Fall?
Fall is one of the best times to enroll because your system is about to enter another full heating season.
GEOCARE helps make maintenance more predictable with benefits such as:
• Planned preventative maintenance
• Easier scheduling
• Monthly payment options
• Service benefits based on your selected plan
• Regular professional attention from the ECS team
Instead of having to remember when your system was last inspected, GEOCARE helps make ongoing geothermal maintenance part of your regular home-care routine.
