Have you heard about the new economic stimulus plan. Unlikethe previous plan thegovernment is not just handing out checks, but promoting green technologies while focusing on local businesses like ours. What does this mean to you? It means up to a 30% tax credit when upgrading to more efficient heating and cooling equipment - even water heaters!
If you buy a 16 seer or better air source heat pump not only will you be eligible for the 30% tax credit, but you could be cutting your heating cost by up to 66%! That would be like going from spending $1200.00 a year on heat to $400.00. If that sounds good wait until you hear about Geothermal. With a Geothermal heat pump you can turn a $1200.00 yearly heating bill into $200.00 dollars!
You should also be aware that most power companies offer a substantial credit toward your electric bill if you have a heat pump or electric water heater. For about $350.00 to $375.00 (price and availability vary depending on which power company you have) they can install an interrupt box and a separate meter just for your heat pump or water heater and for the privilege of being able to interrupt electric service to the unit, for maybe an hour during peek usage hours, they could give you a credit toward your electric bill, for the attached unit, of 75% up to $50.00 per month!
