Geothermal Heating - Green Building Rebate

It’s not too late to obtain a tax credit for the installation of a geothermal heating system. The extended legislation is effective through December 31, 2016. In the state of Missouri, residential homeowners have a slew of clean energy tax rebate enticements to take advantage of and save energy costs. From geothermal heating to the programmable thermostat, rebates and credits cover a wide scope of eco-friendly incentives for the single family home.

Homeowners, who install geothermal systems, may be able to claim up to 30% off the installment. Among the geothermal heating credit, Missourians may qualify for a home energy audit, which credits up to a $1,000 limit per individual or a cumulative limit of $2,000 per joint taxpayer return. 

Area residents, who plan to winterize the home and qualify for the Green Building Rebate, have a bevy of clean energy and air alternatives in the home. Green technologies, which qualify for the tax credit, include:

§       Energy Audits

§       Geothermal heating

§       Home insulation upgrades                 

§       HVAC equipment / Maintenance

§       Programmable thermostats

§       Rain sensing irrigation equipment 

The maximum credit incentive for a residential single family is $2,210.
