A GeoSpring makes noise that a conventional water heater does not, because it has a fan and a compressor. Installed near a bedroom or in an open basement that becomes a listening space, the noise complaint is a real one and mode selection is often the only remedy.
Owners can rinse the filter, keep clearances and watch the condensate line. Draining sediment, testing elements, the anode and any refrigerant work belong to a licensed trade with the power and water shut off first.
