In this day
and age, people are looking for healthier and more environmentally safe ways to
live. Geo-thermal houses can do this for you. Most homes require fuel to
produce heat and a separate system for air conditioning. Geo Exchange provides you with both.

experienced builder of Geothermal homes in the state of New Hampshire. With
over 32 years of building experience and more than 100 homes, Tom is at the

No cap on 30% tax credit for residential
NEW –
Federal Opportunities for Geothermal Projects as of February 17th, 2009!
The Stimulus Bill signed into law by the President on February 17th has many
provisions that recognize the important contribution that the geothermal heat
pump industry can make to the nation's economic recovery. See What You Can Do
at the bottom of this message. Here is a partial list of the bill’s key
elements:
Geothermal heat pump systems
for residential applications (new, retrofit, primary and non-primary
residences) receive a 30% tax credit starting January 1, 2009 through
December 31, 2016. (The $2,000 limit for the 2008 tax credit has been
removed for 2009 and later years.)
Federal facilities and
military installations will receive billions for energy upgrades, and
geothermal heat pumps will be an important component of those upgrades.
Each state will receive an
average of $100 million to upgrade energy efficiency in the state, the
uses for that money to be determined by each state, and geothermal rebates
and loans are a good use of those funds.
Schools with receive
billions for modernizing and improving energy efficiency, another very
good fit for geothermal.
All commercial and private
buildings are eligible for a 10% grant in lieu of tax credit for the total
cost of installing geothermal systems, the check to be written from the
government to the building owner within 60 days of completion.
RESULTS OF STIMULUS PACKAGE
The 30% residential tax
credit has the effect of making geothermal systems cash flow positive at
today’s energy prices in virtually every market.
The federal, state, military
and school initiatives will create hundreds of large installations calling
for hundreds of geothermal heat pump units each, as well as geothermal
loop field work.
The commercial grants in
lieu of 10% credits will make geothermal heat pumps very attractive to new
and existing commercial enterprises in every market. -READ MORE
