Before You Buy
Buying a Seattle home with geothermal? Ground loop pressure tests and performance evaluations reveal hidden issues before closing.
What We Do
Covering ground loop integrity checks, heat pump performance evaluation, and capacity verification for property size
Ground loop pressure tests and capacity verification before closing
Heat pump efficiency testing against manufacturer specifications
Pressure testing to 50 PSI detects leaks and fluid contamination
Why Seattle Geothermal
Most home inspectors lack geothermal training. Without specialized testing, you risk buying a system with hidden ground loop leaks, undersized capacity, or failing components that cost thousands to repair.
Standard home inspectors cannot evaluate ground loop integrity or heat pump efficiency, leaving buyers exposed to expensive surprises after closing.
Glaciofluvial soils and variable bedrock depth can shift ground loops over time, causing leaks that only pressure testing reveals.
Systems installed 15+ years ago may lack capacity for current heating loads or operate at 60% efficiency vs modern 90%+ standards.
Pressure testing measures loop integrity to 50 PSI, revealing leaks or fluid contamination that cause efficiency loss and expensive repairs.
Heat pump output testing compares actual heating and cooling capacity against manufacturer specs to verify system performance.
