* Geothermal Heat Pump Commercial in the Eco-$mart Catalog

Commercial Systems

Geothermal Heat Pumps just might be the epitome of "ecologically sound, economically smart." They offer an immense opportunity to reduce pollution and dependence on fossil fuels. And they offer signifigant reductions in heating and cooling costs for any home or building. By tapping the energy that is naturally stored in the earth, the geothermal heat pump provides a way to have a truly green building that will pay for itself in energy savings.

New incentives make the payback period even shorter, meaning that a company can not only have the system pay for itself, but begin to PROFIT From Energy Savings quicker as well.

Available Government Incentives

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (H.R. 1424), extended the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) to include geothermal heat pumps installed after October 3, 2008 until 2016.
Under U.S. Code Title 26, Section 48, 10% of the installed cost of a geothermal heat pump is applicable for corporate tax credits as ITC. No matter the installation cost, you will receive a 10% credit under this legislation.
Geothermal heat pumps are also eligible for Modified Accelerated Cost-Recovery, which provides for accelerated depreciation over five years. This means an even shorter payback period for the investment in renewable energy.

A commercial project equipped with FHP water source heat pumps can provide approximately 23 possible LEED points.

Water source heat pumps systems provide the most flexible and lowest installation costs of virtually any HVAC system. Systems from 1-1/2 to 60 tons with optional vertical or horizontal ground loop, pond, lake, and well-water systems are available.
