Affordable Geothermal Heating now available for WNY Homes with
Radiant Systems
BUFFALO, NY - March 27, 2018 - GroundUp: The Geothermal Alliance of Western New
York is now offering radiant geothermal energy heating and cooling systems for a fixed
price of $24,000, or with an additional dedicated geothermal heat pump for domestic hot
water for $26,000, after NYSERDA rebates. This offer is for homeowners who have
existing radiant systems or plan to build a new house with radiant, whether it is in-floor
heating, wall radiators or baseboard radiators. A 30% federal tax credit is also available
to homeowners when they install geothermal systems.
Radiant heat in a home can take many forms and is often referred to as steam heating,
hot water heating, radiator heating or radiant floor heating. A GroundUp member can
help you determine which is in your home.
With this new offer GroundUp is providing geothermal systems, which were previously
perceived to be complex and expensive, to homeowners in WNY at a low cost. The
offer includes a special heat pump, if needed, that can deliver 150 degree F water
temperature, making it suitable even for baseboard heat. Also included is an outdoor
reset controller, which measures outside temperatures and lowers the operating system
temperatures of the heat pump on warmer days, to increase efficiency and lower
operating costs. The system further consists of a buffer tank, outside loop field, pumping
station, the necessary pumps for the radiant system, and a new domestic hot water tank
if the hot water option is selected, as well as direct to load piping, which improves
radiant efficiency by an additional 10%. It does not include the radiant system in the
house.
Jesse Cook of Geotherm, a GroundUp Alliance Member, explains: “GroundUp Radiant
Geothermal System and Installation cost typically covers qualified well insulated single
family homes, up to 4000 sq. ft. in our Western New York climate and includes approval
of the NYSERDA rebate.” said Cook. “We are excited to add radiant geothermal
applications to our portfolio of geothermal solutions for every home.”
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has up
to $15 million available in rebates for the installation of ground source heat pump
systems for residences, businesses and institutions. Rebates are only available to
qualified installers.
In addition, the current Geothermal Federal Tax credit of 30% can be used to further
reduce the system cost up to $7,800 for the homeowner. “This would reduce the final
cost to $18,200 with dedicated hot water, and $16,800 without it.” says Andrew
Heiligman of Alternative Carbon Energy Systems, Inc. (A.C.E.S. - Energy), another
alliance member.
“This is a fantastic opportunity specifically for people who are paying thousands of
dollars a year for oil or propane to heat their homes”, said Bill Nowak, Executive
Director of New York Geothermal Energy Organization .
GroundUp: Geothermal Alliance of Western New York is an initiative of the New York
Geothermal Foundation and the first of its kind in the area to bring the revolutionary
design of Geothermal to every homeowner at a discounted, affordable price. Interested
homeowners can find more information and contact approved installers to set up
installation at www.groundupgeo.org
