Geothermal Repair, Installation & Maintenance
Summit County is home to all kinds of geothermal setups – older systems in established Akron neighborhoods that have been running quietly for decades, and newer installs in communities like Hudson, Bath, and Richfield where geothermal caught on early. When something goes wrong, or when a unit finally reaches the end of its run, homeowners across the county call Apollo.
Apollo’s technicians repair, replace, and maintain geothermal heat pump systems across Akron and Summit County, with upfront pricing before any work begins and a free in-home estimate for every job. We’re honest about when repair makes sense, when replacement is the smarter move, and when a different system type might serve your home better. Trusted for heating services across the region, we’ve earned 4.8 stars across 5,400+ Google reviews from homeowners who count on us to get it right.
If your system isn’t working, we’ll diagnose and repair it. If your unit is aging out and you’re weighing a replacement, we’ll walk you through what’s involved. If everything’s running well, we’ll help you keep it that way.
When a geothermal system stops working, the cause usually falls into one of two categories.
Heat pump problems. The heat pump unit handles refrigerant compression, fan operation, and heat exchange. Broken fans, compressor problems, and refrigerant leaks are among the more common issues. Your technician explains what they found and gives you a clear price before any work begins – and no work starts without your approval.
Heat exchanger corrosion. Less common but more serious. Corrosion in the heat exchanger often signals it’s time to consider replacement rather than repair. If that’s the case, we’ll tell you honestly and walk you through the options without pressure.
We service all major geothermal brands regardless of age, across Akron and the surrounding Summit County communities.
Geothermal systems rarely fail without warning. Watch for:
A problem caught early almost always costs less than one that’s had time to develop. If you’re seeing any of these, call us before it gets worse.
Most geothermal calls we get in Akron aren’t first-time installs – they’re homeowners whose heat pump unit has run its course and needs to be replaced. The underground loop is already there. Apollo’s job is to remove the old unit, install the new one, and make sure everything is connected and running correctly before we leave.
Every replacement starts with a free in-home estimate. A comfort advisor reviews your home’s size, existing ductwork, and current system before recommending anything. You get the full cost upfront – no obligation, no pressure.
A few things that shape what the work involves and what it costs:
After the estimate, we remove and replace the heat pump unit, reconnect it to your home’s heating and cooling system, and run a full test in both heating and cooling modes before we leave.
Geothermal is a strong fit for some homes and not the right call for others. Here’s an honest look at the factors that matter most in Summit County.
Climate and year-round load. Akron runs a full heating season followed by a real summer cooling season. A geothermal system handles both with one unit, year after year, which is part of what makes the long-term economics worth considering for the right home.
Fuel situation. Homeowners in eastern Summit County and Portage County communities like Tallmadge, Kent, and Ravenna – where propane is common and natural gas lines don’t always reach – often find geothermal worth a serious look. The upfront cost is real, but so is the long-term cost of propane heat.
Budget. Geothermal’s upfront cost is not a small decision. Financing is available through our lending partners. If geothermal isn’t the right fit for your property or budget, an air-source heat pump is often a strong alternative worth comparing.
Geothermal systems are low-maintenance by design – but not no-maintenance. An annual tune-up keeps the system running efficiently, extends its life, and supports your warranty. Every Apollo geothermal maintenance visit covers:
Between annual visits, plan to change the air filter every three to six months – more often in homes with pets or heavy dust. If anything needs attention during the visit, your comfort advisor walks you through the options before any work is done.
Apollo backs its work with two programs built for the long ownership cycle a geothermal system represents.
The Not a Dime Warranty covers manufacturer-warranted parts and the labor to repair or replace them on qualifying systems Apollo installs. Ask your comfort advisor for the coverage terms that apply to your specific system.
The Value Choice Membership includes your annual geothermal tune-up, priority scheduling when you need service, and member discounts on repairs – plus plumbing benefits. Manufacturers often require annual service to keep your warranty in effect, and the membership makes that easy to stay on top of.
Every Apollo service starts with upfront pricing. For geothermal installation, that includes a free in-home estimate – you’ll see the full cost before anything is scheduled.
Because geothermal requires a larger upfront investment than most heating and cooling systems, financing options are available through our lending partners. Your comfort advisor will walk you through what’s available and what fits your budget.
A geothermal system is a big commitment. The company you choose to install and service it should be one you can still call a decade from now and get the same level of care. Apollo has been building that kind of trust across Akron and Summit County one honest job at a time, and our 4.8-star rating across 5,400+ Google reviews reflects homeowners who came back because we got it right the first time.

Call 330-359-1725 or schedule online. Apollo’s comfort advisors are available Monday through Saturday, 8:00am–7:00pm, serving all of Akron and Summit County. We’ll diagnose the problem, walk you through the options, and get to work – with your approval first.
Cost depends on the problem – a thermostat or sensor issue runs differently than a compressor replacement. Apollo provides a full diagnosis and an honest estimate before any work begins.
Cost depends on your home’s size, loop type, soil conditions, and the amount of excavation involved. Apollo provides a free in-home estimate with the full price before anything is scheduled.
For homes with the property and budget to support it, geothermal offers a long-term heating and cooling solution with a system life of 12 years or more. The upfront cost is higher than most alternatives – Apollo helps you evaluate whether it makes sense for your home and situation.
They use less electricity for cooling than a central air conditioner and more for heating than a gas furnace – though many homeowners replacing oil or propane systems find they spend less on energy overall.
The heat pump unit typically lasts 12 years or more.
Annually – and the air filter should be changed every three to six months between visits.
If your unit is under 12 years old and the repair is straightforward, fixing it usually makes sense. If it’s pushing 15+ years or the repair cost is significant, replacement is often the better long-term investment – Apollo’s comfort advisors help you compare both options honestly.
Yes. Apollo’s Not a Dime Warranty covers manufacturer-warranted parts and the labor to repair or replace them on qualifying systems we install – ask your comfort advisor for the coverage terms on your specific system.
