Geo-Thermal

[Randy D. Stufflebeem]

Never inspected a Geo-Thermal unit. Any links, advice, instruction, etc. Have one today that I was under the impression it was typical GFA. Surprise, Surprise!
Thank you in advance,
Randy

I've got all sorts of links for Geo-Thermal education. Basically, simply check for adequate heating/cooling and report your results.

Excellent David, I will add these to my library. Is there any other items I should be looking for? Is it okay to operate in both modes?
Thanks again,
Randy

I do not inspect A/C mode if weather is under 65 degrees. Make sure you note what you did and did not inspect and why.

I inspect heat in both hot and cold weather. Some inspectors (here) may have issues with inspecting heat in the summer months, but I never had problems with this.
