Why not save money today and over the length of your time in your St Louis area home? You can with Geothermal! When you factor in long-term energy savings, tax credits, and utility rebates, geothermal is a great option to consider when looking to replace or install a new HVAC system. Through 2022, the geothermal tax credits are up to 30% of the cost of the geothermal system when installed in your St Louis residence.

Frequently Asked Questions about Geothermal Tax Credits:

  1.  What exactly is the difference between a tax deduction and a tax credit?     A tax deduction reduces the amount of your income that is considered taxable by the IRS. A tax credit is taken after the determination of the amount of taxes that you have to pay. Tax credits are dollar for dollar reductions in the amount of taxes you owe, and are the same for everyone, regardless of income level.
  2. What if my geothermal tax credit amount exceeds my tax liability?    You will not lose any of the remaining balance. The residual amount will be carried forward into future years and applied to that tax liability.
  3. Can I claim the tax credit if I install a qualified geothermal heat pump in my existing home? Yes, the tax credit applies to existing residential installations as well as new construction.
  4. Is there any geothermal equipment not covered under this tax credit?  The tax credit only applies to new “qualified geothermal heat pump property.” Geothermal equipment that does not meet ENERGY STAR requirements effective at the time the equipment is installed is not eligible. Also excluded is equipment used exclusively to heat swimming pools or hot tubs or previously used geothermal equipment. Ask your Hoffmann Brothers Project Manager to ensure the Geothermal Equipment they quote, qualifies for your 30% tax credit.
  5. Am I eligible for the tax credit if geothermal equipment is installed in my condo? Possibly. You may be able to claim the tax credit on your share of the condominium association’s geothermal spending. The tax code has specific restrictions, so please consult your tax professional and homeowner’s association for further information.
  6. Can I get this tax credit if I install a geothermal system at my business location?  There is a separate 10% tax credit available for businesses installing geothermal equipment. If you have a business operating out of your home, consult your tax professional for proper allocation of the residential tax credit.
