Geothermal HVAC Services in St. Louis, MO| Efficient Comfort All Year Long
Homeowners across St. Louis, Missouri, and surrounding areas are looking for smarter ways to heat and cool their homes. Geothermal HVAC systems offer one of the most energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions available today. At Keeven Heating & Cooling, our team has worked with geothermal systems for decades, and we are here to help you understand exactly what these systems can do for your home or commercial property.
What Is a Geothermal HVAC System?
A geothermal HVAC system, also known as a ground source heat pump, uses the earth’s natural thermal energy to heat and cool your home. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that generate heat by burning fuel, geothermal systems transfer heat between your home and the ground beneath it.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), geothermal heat pumps allow homeowners to save 30–70% on heating costs and 20–50% on cooling costs compared to conventional systems.

Types of Geothermal Systems
Keeven Heating & Cooling installs two primary types of geothermal systems. The right choice depends on your property’s size, soil conditions, and available land.
Vertical Systems
Vertical systems are ideal for properties with limited yard space. Plastic pipes are inserted into vertical bore holes drilled deep into the ground. A water or antifreeze solution circulates through these pipes, absorbing heat from the earth in winter and transferring heat back into the ground in summer.
Horizontal Systems
Horizontal systems use the same closed-loop pipe technology but are buried horizontally at a depth of five or more feet. These systems work well on larger properties with ample open land. Both system types deliver the same reliable, energy-efficient performance.
Geothermal HVAC Repair Services
Even the most reliable systems need professional attention from time to time. A common question we hear from homeowners is: How frequently should a geothermal HVAC system be serviced?
Geothermal systems should be professionally inspected at least once per year. Annual maintenance helps catch small issues before they become costly repairs and keeps the system running at peak efficiency. Routine service visits from our team typically include:
- Inspecting and testing the heat pump components
- Checking refrigerant levels and loop pressure
- Cleaning or replacing air filters
- Inspecting electrical connections and controls
- Reviewing system performance data for any irregularities
If your geothermal system is experiencing reduced efficiency, unusual sounds, or inconsistent temperatures, contact our team promptly. Early intervention keeps repair costs low and extends the life of your system.
