Geothermal Heat Pumps Tax Credits
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), the United States Tax Code was revised to expand the existing tax credit available to consumers related to the installation of geothermal heat pumps.

Installed after January 1, 2009 and before December 31, 2016. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidance, the Federal tax credit is tied to the Energy Star specification that is in effect at the date of installation.
Tax Credit: 30% of cost with no upper limit
Expires: December 31, 2016
Details: Existing homes & new construction qualify. Both principal residences and second homes qualify. (Rentals do not qualify.)
