How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

Geothermal Systems Designed For Kentuckiana Properties

Geothermal heating and cooling is especially appealing in the Evansville and Louisville region, where homeowners want long-term efficiency, quiet operation, and protection from rising energy costs. Because geothermal systems rely on stable ground temperatures, the success of an installation depends heavily on property layout, soil conditions, and available space—factors that vary widely across Kentuckiana.

Evansville Area Geothermal Considerations

In and around Evansville, geothermal systems are commonly installed on properties with larger yards or open land, including homes near the East Side, areas outside the Lloyd Expressway, and communities stretching toward Newburgh, Boonville, and Mount Vernon. Many properties along I-69 and US-41 corridors have the space needed for horizontal loop systems, while tighter lots closer to Downtown or older neighborhoods may be better suited for vertical loop designs.

Louisville Area Geothermal Considerations

Across Louisville, geothermal is often a strong fit for homes in the East End, Middletown, Prospect-area outskirts, and neighborhoods near the Gene Snyder (I-265) where lot sizes allow for loop installation. We also evaluate geothermal options for properties near St. Matthews, Fern Creek, and Oldham County borders, where homeowners want high efficiency without the noise or visibility of traditional outdoor HVAC equipment.

Nearby Communities We Serve For Geothermal Systems

A+ Derr also designs, installs, and services geothermal systems for homeowners in nearby cities and rural communities that commute into Evansville or Louisville, including Henderson, Princeton, New Albany, Jeffersonville, Clarksville, Shepherdsville, and surrounding Kentuckiana areas.

What We Evaluate Before Recommending Geothermal

Available land area and whether horizontal or vertical ground loops make the most sense
Soil conditions and access points for drilling or trenching
Home size, insulation levels, and year-round heating and cooling demand
Long-term energy savings goals compared to upfront installation costs
Integration with existing ductwork or radiant systems

What Is A Geothermal System?

A geothermal system uses the Earth’s thermal energy to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This works because the ground temperature stays relatively consistent throughout the year. Geothermal systems use ground loops, piping filled with fluid installed horizontally or vertically in the ground. Depending on the season and your needs, the loop allows heat to be transferred in or out of your home.

The A+ Derr team is qualified and trained to service geothermal systems throughout Louisville, Evansville, and the surrounding Kentuckiana areas. We offer geothermal installations and replacements, repairs, and routine maintenance.

Installation & Replacement

While it’s important to have professionals install any HVAC system, this is especially true with a geothermal system. The team at A+ Derr is experienced and qualified to install geothermal systems so that they work correctly and safely for years to come.

Repair

Although geothermal heat pumps are durable and efficient, they occasionally encounter problems, especially as they age. This is especially true if a professional doesn’t maintain them yearly. If your system isn’t keeping up with the heat in the summer or the cold in the winter, our team can help.

Maintenance

The best way to keep your geothermal system working properly for year-round comfort is to schedule a routine inspection and tune-up twice a year: once before the cooling season and once before the heating season. This allows us to catch minor issues before they become big problems and ensure your system runs efficiently for the season ahead.
