An exciting tax credit is still available for home and commercial building owners who install geothermal heating and cooling systems through the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008. It offers a one-time tax credit of 30% of the total investment for homeowners who install residential ground loop or ground water geothermal heat pumps.  A credit of 10% of the total investment is also available (no maximum) for a commercial system installation. This Federal tax credit for geothermal heating and air system will expire 2016.

Also, as of March 1st, 2016, SC Homeowners can take advantage of a one-time 25% State Tax Credit of the total investment for homeowners who install residential ground loop or ground water geothermal heat pumps.

So for everybody who plans to replace an old heating and air system or build new and wants to take advantage of a geothermal system, the time is running out indeed. The federal tax credit can be claimed for systems placed in service by 12/31/2018. So it will be necessary to start the project early enough as the ordering and installation process will take some time.
