Number of local residential installations is 'exploding'
 
Geothermal heating and cooling systems are increasingly taking root under the green, green grass of homes.

Area contractors say they are doing 40 to 50 per year, up from five to 10 a few years ago.

As more metro homeowners fret over the rising costs of energy, demand for residential geothermal systems is skyrocketing – even on small city lots that don’t have room for the most commonly installed “loop” systems.

  • 2012 Federal Tax Credits Can Save You Up To 30% On A New Home Geothermal Heat Pump Written by Administrator

    A geothermal heat pump is similar to a traditional heat pump, except it uses the ground instead of outside air to provide heatiing and air conditioning, and in many cases, hot water.

    Because Geothermal uses the earth's natural heat, it is among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies currently available.

    Which geothermal heat pumps qualify?

    All ENERGY STAR qualified geothermal heat pumps are eligible for the tax credit. Earning the ENERGY STAR means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. By choosing ENERGY STAR qualified heating and cooling equipment and taking steps to optimize its performance, you can enhance the comfort of your home while saving energy. Saving energy helps you save money on utility bills and protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the fight against climate change.

    How much will I save?

    The federal tax rebate includes 30% of the cost – including installation/labor costs - with no upper limit.

    How long does the rebate last?

    Tax credit are in effect in through 2016. Must be installed in a home you own and use as a residence (no rentals, but second homes qualify) between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2016.

    How do I file for the tax credit?

    File Tax Form 5695 with your tax return. For details, please consult with a tax professional. For more information on the federal energy tax credit for geothermal heating and cooling, visit: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=tax_credits.tx_index

    For an in-home geothermal consultation, call Genz-Ryan today. Or make an appointment online.

  • KARE 11 News Article on Geothermal Home in Mineapolis Written by Andy Ryan

    Going geothermal eventually means free home heating and cooling.

    "Geothermal is using the heat from the earth to heat and cool your house," Mike Otto said.

    The head of his own construction company, Otto added, "You'll make a mess out of your front yard, but nothing that can't be sodded over."

    Yes, even on a dry day going geothermal gets a little messy.

    Crews at a residence in south Minneapolis spent Wednesday moving through mud as they were drilling 200 feet down into the earth below a Minneapolis home. Prior to the construction started, the state inspected the site to make sure the yard can support the system of tubes.
