New Federal Incentives for Geothermal Systems
One positive result of the recent Federal ‘Bailout’ Bill is an array of new energy incentives, including tax credits for geothermal heat pump systems. These incentives are effective immediately and are available for both residential and commercial systems. This should help geothermal grow in Wisconsin!

The residential tax credit is for 30% of the cost of a system, with a maximum credit of $2,000.  More information on this tax credit can be found at the following link: Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit

The commercial tax credit is for 10% of the cost of a system, with no maximum. More information on this tax credit can be found at the following link: Corporate Renewable Energy Tax Credit
