Keep your geothermal system operating efficiently throughout the year with practical homeowner tips, seasonal maintenance checklists, and guidance on when to call ECS Geothermal for professional service.
• Keep filters clean. Check your air filter regularly and replace it when needed to maintain proper airflow.
• Keep supply and return vents open.
Avoid blocking registers and return-air grilles with furniture, rugs or other household items.
• Avoid frequent thermostat changes. Geothermal systems perform best when allowed to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
• Watch for changes in operation. Unusual noises, reduced airflow, unexpected thermostat warnings or difficulty maintaining temperature may indicate that service is needed.
• Keep the indoor equipment area accessible. Avoid storing items directly around your geothermal equipment.
• Use Symphony system monitoring when available. WaterFurnace Symphony can provide convenient access to system operation and comfort controls.
Geothermal heating and cooling is an eco-friendly and cost-effective way to regulate the temperature of your home throughout the year. However, just like any other heating and cooling system, it requires proper care and maintenance to operate efficiently.
Check or replace your air filter
A clean filter helps maintain proper airflow and system efficiency.
Test cooling operation early
Don’t wait for the first 90-degree day. Switch the system to cooling and make sure it responds normally.
Check supply and return vents
Make sure registers are open and airflow isn’t being restricted by furniture, rugs or household items.
Check the thermostat and Symphony connection
Verify thermostat settings and make sure WaterFurnace Symphony connectivity is working properly if your system is equipped with it.
Look around the indoor equipment
Watch for unusual moisture, sounds or other changes around your geothermal unit.
Monitor system performance
If cooling cycles seem unusually long, airflow has changed or your home isn’t maintaining temperature, contact ECS.
There are also important system components that should be evaluated by a trained geothermal technician. ECS can inspect system operation, electrical components, refrigerant performance, condensate drainage, loop operation and other important performance measurements.
Check your air filter
Start heating season with a clean filter and continue checking it regularly throughout the winter.
Test heating operation before cold weather arrives
Switch the thermostat to heating and make sure the system responds normally.
Keep supply and return vents clear
Good airflow is essential for efficient heating and even temperatures throughout your home.
Avoid large thermostat adjustments
Geothermal systems generally perform most efficiently when maintaining a relatively consistent temperature.
Watch Emergency Heat operation
If auxiliary or emergency heat appears to be operating more frequently than expected, contact ECS for guidance.
Pay attention to system changes
Unusual noises, thermostat alerts, reduced airflow, uneven temperatures or difficulty maintaining your thermostat setting should be investigated before severe winter weather arrives.
Cold weather is not the time you want to discover an overlooked system issue.
