Your geothermal system plays an important part in keeping your Minneapolis home energy costs down, so it's crucial that you do everything you can to keep your system well-maintained and running smoothly. We've gathered a few tips to help you do just that.
Check Air Filters Regularly
Your geothermal pump should have a few different air filters; some will need to be replaced completely when dirty, while others can simply be cleaned. If you aren't comfortable completing such a task yourself, you can call us to take care of that for you.
Examine the Ductwork
Once a year, check your system's ductwork for issues, such as loose connections or leaks. If you track down a problem, call us in to deal with it as soon as possible.
Look Out for Other Issues
Pay attention to your traditional energy bills. If you start to see them go up, there might be a problem with your geothermal system. You may notice without even looking at your bills. If your home feels noticeably warmer or cooler, it's a good idea to have your geothermal system looked at.

Geothermal: Still a Dark Horse
Geothermal energy isn't a brand new source, but that doesn't mean it's on everyone's minds, yet. In fact, according to the title of a piece from TG Daily, the entire industry is still "under the radar."
The geothermal industry is growing quite steadily in the United States; approximately 91 megawatts of capacity was added in 2011. In the Western U.S. alone, approximately 75,000 MW of potential geothermal energy still remains untapped, ensuring that the industry has room for continued growth.
Home geothermal pumps are becoming more and more popular as traditional fossil fuels become more expensive. How it works is this; a looped pipe is installed that goes a certain distance down into the earth, where the temperature remains the same consistently. This heat is transferred up the pipes and into the home during cooler seasons, and heat from the home is taken down into the pipes during warmer seasons. The result is that you're able to keep your home at a comfortable temperature using less traditional energy.
