Heat and cool your home with your own back yard.
How would you like to have a heating and air conditioning system in your home that can:
• Save energy and slash electric bills
• Cut greenhouse gas emissions
• Rid your yard of unsightly outdoor equipment
• Drastically reduce the cost of your hot water
• Reduce maintenance costs– even as it improves the year-round comfort of your home?
Provide you with a 30% Tax Credit for the installation of a geothermal system in your home.
On February 17th, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Included in the law was the removal of the $2,000 cap on the 30% tax credit that was in the Oct-08 TARP bill.
This is a significant change in the law and provides a major opportunity for residents to take advantage of the savings geothermal provides. The home does not have to be the principal residence of the taxpayor. As a result, a geothermal installation in a 2nd home or rental property will qualify as well. Even new construction of a home will qualify for the credit as long as the homeowner is the builder of record and pays the subcontractors.
For their tax files, the homeowner will need to retain the Energy Star certification and keep copies of paid receipts for the geothermal installation.
Sound too good to be true?
In fact, such units, called geothermal systems, offer such a
lengthy list of benefits that at first glance they do seem too good to be true. Their benefits, though, flow directly from the clever application of sound technology–what you can
think of as good science. Once you understand how geothermal systems work, you'll understand how they can bring such an attractive list of benefits to your home.
What They Do.
Geothermal systems provide heat in the winter and cooling in the summer, at efficiencies that are far better than those for most alternative systems. Like conventional heat pumps, they are essentially air conditioners that can also run in reverse to provide heat in the winter. The primary difference is that they rely on the nearly constant temperature of the earth for heat transfer instead of the widely fluctuating temperatures of the outside air. That is the key to the geothermal unit's surprising efficiency. As a matter of fact the E.P.A has identified geothermal systems as the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective conditioning systems available.

How?
Your yard retains energy from the sun and stores it, just like a big battery. Geothermal systems simply take this energy and transfers it into your home either by heating or cooling your home. Also there is enough energy left over to basically heat your hot water for free. By using this method instead of trying to capture heat from the cold air in the middle of the winter, the way an Air Source Heat Pump does, makes geothermal systems up to 70% more efficient than any other heating and cooling system.

A Quote from Peebles LLC.
Our quotes start with a detailed manual j load calculation. Without a load calculation performed on your home there is no accurate way to calculate the capacity of the system needed, therefore the size of the earth loop needed. We can gather this info from a set of plans of your home or actually measuring your home and the details such as window sizes, ceiling heights, type of insulation, etc. We then take this info and provide you with a load analysis, an operational cost analysis, and a return on investment analysis. We feel an informed customer will always make the wise choice. If your contractor does not provide you with this information, be very suspicious of how they determined the size equipment you will need. If he uses the old rule of thumb of square feet per ton then you should choose another contractor because he is basically guessing at your future power bills and comfort. |
