Geothermal
What is it?
Geothermal is the use of heat from within the Earth.

How does a geothermal Heat Pump work?
Geothermal heat pumps are similar to ordinary heat pumps, but use the ground instead of outside air to provide heating, air conditioning and, in most cases, hot water. Because they use the earth's natural heat, they are among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies currently available.

Earning the ENERGY STAR means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

ENERGY STAR qualified geothermal heat pumps use about 30% less energy than a standard heat pump.
They are quieter than conventional systems.

Remember, saving energy prevents pollution. By choosing ENERGY STAR and taking steps to optimize the performance of your heating and cooling equipment, you are helping to prevent global warming and promoting cleaner air while enhancing the comfort of your home.

Energy Efficient Tax Credits
As of December 31, 2007, most of the residential tax credits (windows, doors, roofs, insulation, HVAC, and non-solar water heaters) expired. You have until April 15, 2008 to report these credits (for purchases made in 2007) on your 2007 taxes. The tax credit for solar water heaters and solar panels remains in effect through December 31, 2008.

To claim a tax credit on your 2007 taxes, fill out IRS Form 5695 and submit it with your taxes. Save your receipts and the Manufacturer's Certification Statement for your records. A Manufacturer’s Certification Statement is a signed statement from the manufacturer certifying that the product or component qualifies for the tax credit. The IRS encourages manufacturers to provide these Certifications on their website to facilitate identification of qualified products.
