Southern Geothermal Installation



New Heating and Cooling



Southern Geothermal is the CSRA's leading Geothermal Installer.





As a WaterFurnace GeoPro Dealer we are dedicated to keeping our Company at the top of our industry. GeoPro Dealers must meet a higher standard than a regular dealer. We must maintain a high customer satisfaction, have multiple years of experience, receive continuous training and agree to sell a certain amount of WaterFurnace Systems.





Why you should consider Geothermal for your next Comfort System



Heat and Cool your home with your own back yard.

Geothermal systems save energy and slash electric bills while cutting greenhouse gas emissions. You will no longer have an unsightly noisy unit in your back yard. All equipment is located inside out of mother natures wrath. Most WaterFurnace units will also heat 60% to 70%of your hot water for a fraction of the cost of your hot water heater. Geothermal units also require less maintenance since there is no outside coil to get clogged and dirty. Geothermal systems also heat and cool better than a conventional system while also de-humidifying much more efficiently.











What a Geothermal System Does





Geothermal systems provide heat in the winter and cooling in the summer, at efficiencies that are far better than those for most alternative systems. Like conventional heat pumps, they are essentially air conditioners that can also run in reverse to provide heat in the winter. The primary difference is that they rely on the nearly constant temperature of the earth for heat transfer instead of the widely fluctuating temperatures of the outside air. That is the key to the geothermal unit's surprising efficiency. As a matter of fact, the E.P.A has identified geothermal systems as the most energy efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective conditioning systems available.


How?
Your yard retains energy from the sun and stores it, just like a big battery. Geothermal systems simply take this energy and transfers it into your home either by heating or cooling your home. Also, there is enough energy left over to basically heat your hot water for free. By using this method instead of trying to capture heat from the cold air in the middle of the winter, the way an Air Source Heat Pump does makes geothermal systems up to 70% more efficient than any other heating and cooling system.

Horizontal Loop


Horizontal Loops are the most common but require a big lot.


More Info

Vertical Loop


Vertical Loops are used when customer has a small lot. These loops work great but are the most expensive to install

More Info

Open Loop



Open loops are used when there is a good source of potable water such as a water well. Open loops use the water from a water source such as a water well. The water is moved thru the unit during operation and then exhausted into a pond or onto the ground. This is the least popular way to operate a Geo unit.



Pond Loop


Pond or Lake Loops are used when there is a body of water on the property. These loops work great and are the least expensive to install.

More Infoo

Horizontal Loops





Horizontal Loops are used when customer has several acres of land. This type loop is less expensive than Vertical Loop but does require a minimum amount of land.



This is our Loop Header, it is usually located only 50 to 100 ft from home. This is where all of our ground loops are tied together before entering home and Geo Unit.



Header



Vertical Loops





Vertical Loops are used when customer has a small lot. These loops are more expensive to install due to the fact that a licensed water well driller must bore our wells, and each well must be grouted.



Vertical Loop



Pond/Lake Loops





  • If there is a body of water close to the home, a pond/lake loop can be used. Pond loops are a great way to heat and cool your home and are the least expensive loop to install.



Understanding the Federal Tax Incentives for Geothermal Heat Pumps



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

.
• 30% of total system cost through 2019
• 26% of total system cost in 2020
• 22% of total system cost in 2021
• No limit to credit amount
• Can be used to offset AMT tax
• Can be used in more than one year
• Can be combined with solar and wind tax credits
• Can be combined with energy efficiency upgrade credits


What’s Eligible
Geothermal equipment that uses the stored solar energy from the ground for heating and cooling and that meets ENERGY STAR
requirements at the time of installation is eligible for the tax credit. Covered expenditures include labor for onsite preparation,
assembly, or original system installation and for piping or wiring to connect a system to the home. The structure must be located
in the United States and used as a residence by the taxpayer, although primary residency isn’t required. In fact, if geothermal
is installed in more than one home, there’s no limitation on the number of times the credit can be claimed.


What’s Not
The credit can’t be claimed for spending on equipment used solely for hot tub or pool conditioning, nor on previously used
equipment. Rental home installations also cannot be claimed. As of November, 2013, electric strip heat and duct work distribution
systems are no longer included in the 30% calculation.


How to claim the Credit
Use IRS Form 5695 to claim the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit. For property placed in service after 2009 there’s
no limit on the credit amount. The tax credit can be used to offset both regular income taxes and alternative minimum taxes (AMT).
If the federal tax credit exceeds tax liability, the excess amount may be carried forward into future years. Spending on geothermal
heat pump property adds to your home’s cost basis but also must be reduced by the amount of the tax credit received.
