Where We Serve
Geothermal Heat Pumps Near Me
Ground-source heat pump installation, repair, and maintenance across Seattle neighborhoods. IGSHPA-certified professionals for residential and commercial properties.
Know Before You Buy
Know what you're buying before closing. Ground loop pressure tests, heat pump performance checks, and condition reports that standard home inspectors miss.
What We Do
Covering ground loop pressure tests, heat pump performance measurements, heat exchanger assessments, and remaining system life estimates
Ground loop pressure tests, heat pump performance checks, and condition reports before closing
Efficiency measurements and COP testing to verify system operates at manufacturer specs
Pressure testing of buried loops to detect refrigerant or fluid leaks reducing efficiency
Why Seattle Geothermal
A basic home inspection checks visible components but cannot pressure-test ground loops or measure heat pump efficiency against manufacturer specs.
You inherit a geothermal system with no documentation of age, maintenance history, or ground loop integrity. Surprise failures after closing mean unplanned repair costs when you expected decades of reliable heating.
Slow refrigerant or fluid leaks reduce heating capacity by 20-40% without obvious symptoms. Standard home inspectors cannot pressure-test buried loops, leaving you with an inefficient system that drives up utility bills.
The existing heat pump may be undersized for the property or mismatched to the ground loop length. Without performance testing, you cannot verify the system meets your heating and cooling needs before purchase.
IGSHPA-certified inspectors pressure-test buried ground loops to identify refrigerant or fluid leaks that reduce efficiency by 20-40%. Early detection prevents buying a system that needs expensive loop repairs within months of closing.
Heat pump output and coefficient of performance (COP) testing confirms the system delivers rated heating and cooling capacity. You know if the unit operates at 3.5-4.5 COP or has degraded to 2.0-2.5 COP, affecting long-term energy costs.
Detailed reports list heat pump age, compressor condition, ground loop type, and estimated remaining life. This information supports price negotiation or helps you plan for replacement within 5-10 years instead of facing surprise failures.
Inspectors calculate required heating and cooling load for the property and compare it to installed system capacity. You avoid buying a home with an undersized 3-ton unit when the building needs 4-5 tons for consistent comfort.
Who We Help
From pre-purchase inspections to performance evaluations for existing systems
Buyers inheriting geothermal systems with unknown maintenance history, needing pre-purchase inspections to verify ground loop integrity and avoid expensive surprises after closing
Homeowners with aging geothermal systems deciding between repair and replacement, needing performance evaluations to determine if efficiency loss justifies new equipment
Agents managing transactions involving geothermal properties, needing specialist inspections to protect buyers from undisclosed system issues that standard home inspectors miss
How We Work
From initial contact to detailed condition report
Schedule Inspection
Contact us with property address and inspection timeline. We arrange an IGSHPA-certified inspector to visit before your purchase contingency deadline.
System Evaluation
Inspector pressure-tests ground loop, measures heat pump performance, checks heat exchanger condition, and documents system age and component status.
Receive Report
You get a detailed condition report with efficiency measurements, estimated remaining life, and repair or replacement cost estimates for negotiation or planning.
