HVACDiagnostics & Troubleshooting4HighHVAC Technician$ implied
A geothermal heat pump repeatedly trips on high head pressure due to suspected air in the loop or insufficient water volume, causing return calls and diagnostic challenges.
No dedicated tool to check loop pressure on a non-pressurized flow center, making it hard to diagnose air locks or insufficient water flow.
