Take Advantage of the Tax Credit for a New Geothermal System

There is superb news for homeowners located right here in Salem. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill of 2009 has yielded an increased tax credit over the old legislation. This is applicable to everyone who has a geothermal heating and cooling system installed anywhere between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2016.

Under both bills, you can take a one-time tax credit of 30% of the investment cost. However, the previous legislation had a ceiling of $2,000. The chief benefit of the newer bill is that there is no cap anymore. You get the full 30% of the cost of geothermal system installation. And that’s just for residential consumers. Commercial entities will also benefit from this bill by being eligible for a credit of 10%.

The only stipulation that you need to meet in order to qualify for the tax credit is that your geothermal system must meet Energy Star requirements. You can rest assured that all of our products meet these standards effortlessly.

Today, more than half a million homes across the United States benefit from geothermal systems. The growing popularity of these systems is fueled by soaring energy prices and the number of homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprints.
