Comparing Geothermal and Air-Source Heat Pumps

Comparing geothermal and air-source heat pumps is a worthwhile exercise because each has distinct advantages over the other. Both types of heat pumps move heat from one place to another as their means of conditioning, but use different sources for the energy.

Energy Efficiency

A geothermal system offers higher efficiency because it uses the stable temperatures underground to either extract or replace heat instead of the atmosphere. This makes geothermal heat pumps the most energy efficient HVAC systems currently available and homeowners who install qualifying geothermal systems can receive a 30 percent tax credit until the end of 2016.

Installation and Costs

An air-source heat pump is by far the easier of the two types to install. A geothermal system requires an underground loop field that involves burying the loops in a horizontal or vertical loop field, the depth of which depends on your yard’s geology, hydrology and size. The loop field adds considerable cost to the geothermal system, although the cost of the equipment for either air-source or geothermal is roughly the same.

Durability

Geothermal systems last far longer than air-source heat pumps, largely because they’re not exposed to the elements. The underground loop field can last 50 years and longer, while the indoor air handler can reach 25 years. An air-source heat pump, on the other hand, has a system life between 15 and 20 years. Both types will last longer with annual maintenance from an HVAC pro and routine air filter changes.

Utility Savings

Performance

When comparing geothermal and air-source heat pumps in terms of performance, the geothermal system comes out on top simply because underground temperatures don’t vary as much. An air-source heat pump will be able to provide all the cooling your home needs, but in the winter as temperatures fall into the 30s, may have trouble harvesting the heat your home needs. A geothermal system runs more quietly than an air-source heat pump, since it doesn’t require an outdoor condenser, which also saves space in the yard.

If you’re in the process of comparing geothermal and air-source heat pumps in southeast Louisiana, contact Surgi's today at 469-4232.

Fiscal Cliff Bill Offers Energy Tax Credits

 

If your home needs sprucing up, there’s a catch-all $500 tax credit in the fiscal cliff deal that could help blunt the cost of a remodel. Technically the tax break is called the non-business energy property tax credit. 

 "Energy efficiency is the best kept investment secret for double digit tax-free returns, and the byproducts are improved comfort and safety, and insulation fom some of the effects of the fiscal cliff. Insulation and air sealing has a payback period of less than one year. Mechanical upgrades such as high efficiency furnaces, air conditioners, and water heaters typically have a payback period of less than ten years with rates of return sometimes in excess of 20%. When coupled with state tax incentives and rebates from many utilities, energy upgrades make more sense now than ever before. What many people fail to realize is that when these investments start to pay off in terms of lower bills and more money in your pocket every month, that monetary return is the equivalent of a tax free return. Perhaps instead of maxing out your IRA contribution this year you might want to get an energy audit and consider adding more attic insulation and replacing that old inefficient furnace."  by Mattknowsthat

 Tax credits for energy-efficiency home improvements.  This benefit provides tax credits of $200 to $500 for owners who install energy-efficient windows, insulation, high efficiency heat and air and other upgrades designed to cut energy consumption. The bill covers improvements made during 2012 and 2013.

Tax Credits in 2012

Tax credit and deduction tips for home improvement in 2012  

Reprinted from the Chamberlain/Oacoma Sun, Chamberlain, SD Posted: Wednesday, December 21, 2011

(ARA) - With the new year under way, you may be thinking about needed home improvements and how you'll use your credit to fund them. While it's important to understand your credit before making major home improvement decisions, you should also consider another kind of credit - tax credits for energy efficient home improvements.

For the past few years, the federal government has offered tax credits for certain home improvements aimed at increasing a home's energy efficiency. While the most popular and generous tax credits, such as the one that allowed you to claim up to 30 percent of improvements such as a new roof or hot water heater, have expired, you can still get credit for other significant energy-efficient improvements.

According to EnergyStar.gov, you can claim a tax credit for 30 percent of the cost of installing a geothermal heat pump, small wind turbine or solar energy system in your home. The credit has no upper limit and applies to both existing homes and new construction, but not to rental properties. This credit is good until Dec. 31, 2016.

You can also get a credit of up to 30 percent of the cost of residential fuel cells, up to $500 per .5kW of power capacity,EnergyStar.gov says. This credit is also available until Dec. 31, 2016.
While the initial cost of these improvements may seem significant, they can dramatically decrease home energy bills in the long run.

Depending on the type of home improvement or repair you undertake, you may also be able to claim a deduction on your taxes. Before launching a significant home repair or improvement, it may pay to consult with your tax accountant to see what, if any, portion of the cost may be deductible. And, as you do home repairs throughout the year, keep receipts and discuss the improvements and possible deductions with your accountant when he or she is preparing your tax return.
Knowing ahead of time which, if any, tax credits or deductions your home improvement may qualify for can help you make a better decision about how to use credit to fund the work. Since how you use credit affects your overall credit score, knowing the cost of a project before starting it can help you better manage your credit.

If you're unsure how a home improvement project may affect your credit score, websites like freecreditscore.com can help you understand your credit. The site offers members a Credit Score Estimator that can help you understand how big financial decisions, like applying for a home improvement loan, may affect your credit score.

To learn more about tax credits for energy efficient home improvements, visit www.EnergyStar.gov. To learn more about tax deductions, visit www.IRS.gov. You can find a list of regional tax credits, rebates and savings at energy.gov/savings or call Surgi's at 469-4232.

Fall checks

Is Your Air Conditioner Making a Cry for Help?

With the machinery in our lives, we either pay a smaller amount for service, or a larger amount for repair.  The same is true for air conditioning units. No doubt your air conditioner got a lot of usage this summer, with the extreme heat that prompted record A/C upgrades.

The good news is that air conditioners are built to withstand longtime use and wear and tear. While this is great for us today, it means we forget to take care of it after a long season. But A/C maintenance is an extremely important task.

Each year without maintenance, your air conditioner loses about 5% of its original efficiency. This is needless waste, considering that the efficiency can be maintained with regular air conditioning check-ups.

The cost of an annual tune-up is therefore recovered with the savings in your electric bill. Not to mention eventual repair costs. And you don't want to be stuck in the heat, frustrated and sweating with a broken AC.

Surgi's is now offering a $40 discount on fall clean and checks.  Save money and be comfortable!  Call Surgi's at 469-4232 to schedule your cleaning today.
