A Carrier geothermal system from McElroy's uses the earth's energy to heat your home in cold weather, and cool your home in hot weather.
Makes sense. A geothermal system is good for the planet because geothermal is a renewable, nonpolluting resource. It’s quieter than other heating and cooling systems. Most importantly, it's a smart investment that can save you significant money over the long haul. We're talking up to 70% savings on your monthly energy bill—month after month, year after year, for up to 30 years. Plus, you can get a 30% federal tax credit to help offset the initial cost.
Look closer. A few feet below the surface, the earth's stored energy keeps the temperature a constant, comfortable 55 or so degrees Fahrenheit. A geothermal system taps into this stored energy through a series of liquid-filled pipes buried underground. In cold weather, the system absorbs the earth’s heat and pumps it into your home, where the warm air is quietly circulated. In hot weather, the process is reversed, as warm air is moved out of your home and dispersed into the earth.
Simple, clean and efficient, geothermal energy uses considerably less electricity than other heating and cooling systems. Upkeep is minimal, as the system has few moving parts. A Carrier geothermal system from McElroy's will deliver decades of comfort and savings.
Take credit. A Carrier geothermal system from McElroy's meets Energy Star requirements, which makes you eligible for a federal tax credit covering 30% of the total system cost. A tax credit is generally more valuable than a tax deduction, because a credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in taxes owed. A tax deduction, on the other hand, reduces the amount of income that is subject to taxes.
A geothermal system is a sound investment. It’s as green as your grass, and can increase the value of your home. A 30% federal tax credit makes it all the sweeter.
