Time is Running Out...


LASTCHANCEFor TAX CREDITS Going geothermal has never been more affordable


H


eating season is here, and many co-op members spend too much money heating


their homes. Propane prices always go up during the winter, too.


If you have an old heating and air conditioning system or you have unusually high energy bills, now is the time to replace it. With Kiamichi Electric Cooperative (KEC) rebates, a loop finance program and a federal tax credit available for geothermal heat pumps that expires on December 31, this is your best chance to install a high efficiency geothermal heat pump for thousands of dollars less.


If your system is 12- 15 years old or older, or you have unusually high bills – you’re a good candidate for geothermal. After tax credits, loop program and co-op rebates, geothermal heat pump systems cost about the same or less than a conventional unit, plus going "geo" could save you 30-50 percent on your utility bills.


A geothermal heat pump is a lot like the heat pumps that many of us have at our homes now, but they are ground- source instead of air-source. They can be used on any size home and can replace any type of unit. It works by pairing the heating and cooling system with a series of ground loops that extend down


into the earth. The earth's nice, stable temperature provides a way to keep your home comfortable throughout the year.


Geothermal heat pumps are the most cost effective, energy efficient way to heat and cool a home. You can find more information about how geothermal works at www. kiamichielectric.org.


After tax credits, KEC's loop program and co-op rebates, a geothermal heat pump system cost about the same or less than a conventional unit, plus going "geo" could save you 30 to 50 percent on your utility bills.


At KEC, we believe in geothermal heat pumps and we want to help our members afford to install them. KEC can show you how: By replacing your heating and air conditioning system now, you qualify for huge tax credits, our loop program, KEC rebates, and even a financing plan. Because the federal tax credit expires at the end of the year,


we urge you to call our hotline, visit our updated web page, and when the time is right, make the smart investment by installing a geothermal heat pump. Q


While situations can differ, in general, geothermal units qualify for a 30 percent tax credit on your federal taxes. Hurry, the federal tax credit on geothermal heat pumps expires December 31, 2016.
