Understanding the Federal Tax Incentives for Geothermal Heat Pumps
The Energy Credit
In February 2018, the 30% geothermal federal tax credit was reinstated through 2019 and can be retroactively applied to installations "placed in service" on January 1, 2017 or later. Property is usually considered to be placed in service when installation is complete and equipment is ready for use. However, if the system is part of the construction or renovation of a house, it's considered placed in service when the taxpayer takes residence in the house. To save the most on your installation, you'll want to act quickly-this credit is set to decrease each year through 2021 with the amount dropping to 26% in 2020 and 22% in 2021.
