Geothermal Tax Credits
An exciting new tax credit is now available for home and commercial building owners who install geothermal heating and cooling systems through the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 (H.R. 1424). H.R. 1424 offers a onetime tax credit of 30% of the total investment (no maximum) for homeowners who install residential ground loop or ground water geothermal heat pumps. A credit of 10% of the total investment is also available (no maximum) for a commercial system installation.
Geothermal Benefits and Down-To-Earth Savings
Geothermal systems are the most efficient home heating and cooling options available today! They don't create any heat and only require a small amount of electricity to power the system.
Comparing actual costs tells the whole story:
When a geothermal system is in use, excess heat energy can be routed to your water heater. The result is big savings on your water heating cost year-round!
Ground Source Heat Pumps offer great benefits
- Can be a combination heating/cooling and hot water heating system
- Savings up to 50% on your water-heating bill by preheating tank water
- Made of mechanical components that are either buried in the ground or located inside the home
- About the same size as a traditional heating/cooling unit
- Pipe carries up to a 50-year warranty
- Cut energy consumption by 20% up to 50% and reduce maintenance costs
- Keep the air warmer in the winter (90 -105* F) and at a more consistent temperature throughout the home, eliminating the hot and cold spots common with other systems
- Very quiet, providing a pleasant environment inside & outside the home
- No noisy fan units to disturb outdoor activities
- No exposed equipment outdoors; children or pets cannot injure themselves or damage exterior units
- No open flame, flammable fuel or potentially dangerous fuel storage tanks
GSHPs offer great savings
- One of the most efficient residential heating and cooling systems available today
- Heating efficiencies 50 to 70% higher than other heating systems and cooling efficiencies 20 to 40% higher than available air conditioners
- Save money in operating and maintenance costs
- Investments recouped in only a few years
- Positive cash flow; energy savings usually exceed the cost of the system
- Some utilities offer rebates or incentives to their customers who purchase GSHPs
- Many heat pump manufacturers, local utilities, and lending institutions have special financing for homeowners who are installing GSHPs
GSHPs are environmentally friendly
- Conserve natural resources by providing climate control efficiently and thus lowering emissions
- Minimize ozone layer destruction by using factory-sealed refrigeration systems, which will seldom or never have to be recharged
- Uses underground loops to transfer heat, with no external venting and no air pollution

See EnergyStar.gov’s Federal Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency for a complete summary of the qualifications and all the energy efficiency tax credits available to consumers.
Renewable Energy Tax Credit
Homeowners who install solar water heaters, geothermal heat pumps and wind energy systems are eligible for a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost, with no caps. Previously, caps on these types of projects ranged from $2,000 to $4,000. These tax credits are available through 2016, and both labor and materials qualify.
