How Heat Pumps Work

Learn More About Heat Pumps!

In some circumstances a heat pump can provide a more efficient option for heating and cooling your home, while in other situations it could cost you more. There are different types of heat pumps ranging from electric to geothermal (ground source), and different methods of use such as stand alone with an air handler, or a hybrid configuration for efficient heating. The Office of Energy Efficiency in Canada has provided a great article to help homeowners learn more about heat pumps.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Take Advantage of Federal Solar Incentives!

Homeowners can take advantage of energy efficient mortgages (EEM) to finance a variety of energy efficiency measures, including renewable energy technologies, in a new or existing home. The U.S. federal government supports these loans by insuring them through Federal Housing Authority (FHA) or Veterans Affairs (VA) programs. This allows borrowers who might otherwise be denied loans to pursue energy efficiency improvements, and it secures lenders against loan default.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Get Serious About Going Green - Geothermal Heat Pumps

Geothermal heat pumps are hands down the greenest way to go for heating and cooling your home. Current geothermal tax credit incentives make heating and cooling with geothermal energy more affordable than ever!

Under the current incentives, geothermal tax credits exist up to 30% to expenditures for a system that serves a dwelling unit located in the United States and used as a residence by the taxpayer. Expenditures with respect to the equipment are treated as made when the installation is completed. If the installation is on a new home, the "placed in service" date is the date of occupancy by the homeowner. Expenditures include labor for onsite preparation, assembly or original system installation, and for piping or wiring to interconnect a system to the home.

    Federal Incentives
    Under the 2009 stimulus, those who purchase and install specific efficient HVAC products, such as air conditioners with high SEER ratings or geothermal heat pumps, into existing homes can receive a tax credit for 30% of the cost, up to $1,500, for improvements "placed in service" starting January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2010 under the 2009 stimulus. For geothermal heat pump installations, the credits can exceed $1500 and actually go up to 30% of the entire cost of procurement and installation!
