The phrase 'Going Green' is as well known in today's world as the phrases 'Cup of Joe' and 'Get a Life!' The term means to reduce, reuse and recycle, or more simply to become energy efficient.
The green movement has been going on since the early 1830's and Henry David Thoreau is thought to be one its most influential contributors.
With so many followers these days, die hard environmentalists are being accused of cultism and causing mass hysteria with threats of climate change and global warming (both of which are hugely debated concepts).
Even if our world isn't slowly warming and climate change is not a real threat, becoming more energy efficient just makes more sense.
A Geothermal heating system is one way you can do this in your own home.
Becoming Energy Efficient with Geothermal Heat Geothermal heat uses a single unit to deliver hot air throughout your home by tapping into the Earth's natural energy.
The result is energy efficiency and hot air in your home that far surpasses the traditional forced-air systems.
This is because geothermal heat collects natural solar energy that has been absorbed by the earth, instead of burning fuel.
Tax Credit Eligibility A geothermal heating system is regarded as one of the most energy efficient systems available today and because of this the government is offering a 30% federal tax credit on installation costs through 2016.
This is a big savings and considering these systems can actually save you money on your heating bills over time it's wise to consider buying one.
You can find these units through your local Utah heating contractor.
