The new green energy package by the federal government had included Geothermal in it 30% tax credit. In New Jersey they also have a $750.00 per ton incentive. This is great. Geothermal is a great way to heat and air condition. At this pace it is not that much more that the old fashion conventional furnace driven systems and air condensor air conditioners. This is a great green way to go!

Richard,
Thanks for joining the conversation! It seems that most states and even some local governmental agencies have their own “green” offerings. Getting in tune with those does a good job of increasing your value to prospects.
