As of January 1st, 2011, the $1,500.00 tax credits for 15 SEER qualifying heat pumps are a thing of the past. While this is unfortunate, you can still get Uncle Sam to help you save money on your electric bills.

Geothermal heating and cooling units use the energy of the earth by pumping water from deep underground. This water maintains a steady temperature, allowing for maximum efficiency. While 15 SEER heat pumps are great, 27 SEER geothermal units are even better!

Geothermal is the highest efficiency you can get and the government is willing to give you the most return on your investment. With heat pumps, you could get a tax credit of $1,500.00. For geothermal, it's unlimited. No matter what the cost, you can get a full 30% of the installation (including the well loops) back in tax credits.

The best news? These deals aren't going away any time soon. When you're ready to get the lowest electric bills and the biggest tax credit, give W.L. Jones Electric a call at 757-242-6651.
