Geothermal FAQ
Geothermal uses the ground instead of outside air to provide heating, air conditioning and, in most cases, hot water. Because they use the earth's natural heat, they are among the most efficient and comfortable heating and cooling technologies currently available. In addition, using the energy of the earth is a good for the environment as it is a renewable resource.
ENERGY STAR qualified geothermal heat pumps use about 30% less energy than a standard heat pump. They are quieter than conventional systems. Though these products can be more expensive to purchase up front, the cost difference will be paid back over time through lower energy bills. (Source: Energy Star) MacGregor can provide you with all the details about building a geothermal system into your new or exiting home.
Geothermal Heat Pump 30% Tax Credit
Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, geothermal heat pumps were eligible for tax credits. EESA creates a new tax credit for home owners who install a geothermal heat pump. The heat pump must be Energy Star certified to qualify for the tax credit. The tax credit can also be used to offset any Alternative Minimum Tax liability.
Note: The geothermal tax credit is retroactive to January 1, 2008, and expires on December 31, 2016. Learn more here.

James did a fantastic job for us. He was easy to speak with and gave us great ideas with respect to how to improve our sump pump functionality during cold winter months. I would highly recommend him to anyone
James did an excellent job of diagnosing our hot water issues. We had 3 other plumbers review our problem and he was the best able to explain our problem and our choices to remedy them...
Jeremy came out on time and didn't waste any time getting to work. He stayed till everything was done and gave me options for issues that couldn't be fixed that day. He went above and beyond. Highly recommend!
Don’s the best! He’s come to our rescue so quickly each time we’ve reached out to MacGregor with plumbing leaks. Thankful for their expertise and thoughtfulness to the job!
Had a water heater freeze on the coldest day of the year and needed to be replaced. Called McGregor in the morning and within a couple of hours their service representative Don was here and assessed the damage...
My family recommended Macgregor plumbing. I was thoroughly impressed with the level of service.
Don went above and beyond to help solve all my plumbing issues. I will only be using this company moving forward.
Thanks again
