What is Dandelion Geothermal?

The Dandelion Energy home geothermal system replaces your home’s existing air conditioning and heating equipment with a powerful heat pump and safe, underground pipes that move heat between the earth and your home.

In the winter, the ground loops move heat stored in the ground into your home. In the summer, the ground loops returns heat from your home to the ground.

New York State offers a 25% tax credit on geothermal installation expenses, up to $5,000.

Additionally, homeowners are eligible for New York State's Clean Heat Program, which is administered by the homeowner’s utility. Let’s go over some important details to explain how these incentives are allocated.

Each utility has a unique incentive.

That means a homeowner who uses Con Edison will qualify for a different incentive amount than a homeowner who uses National Grid.

The incentive amounts are based on the installed heat pump’s total heating capacity BTUH.

Utility incentives range between $0.15 per BTUH and $0.50 per BTUH, depending on the utility.

That means a homeowner who uses Con Edison will qualify for a different incentive amount than a homeowner who uses National Grid.

Utility incentives range between $0.15 per BTUH and $0.50 per BTUH, depending on the utility.

Many, but not all, heat pumps installed by Dandelion include a desuperheater ─ a component that uses existing heat in the system to warm water.

This incentive is either $100 or $150 per heat pump, no matter its BTUH, depending on the utility.

Let’s dive into each utility’s incentives available to you by your utility after you install a new geothermal heat pump system in your home.

PSEG Long Island rebate is based on the COP and EER of the unit. Long Island homeowners who install a typical 4 ton system (48,000 BTU) in a 2500 sq ft home get an $8,383 rebate for a new Dandelion Geothermal system. Rebates are capped at 70% of project cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I expect to save?

A typical 2,500 square foot home in Massachusetts with a heating oil furnace and central air conditioning will see a 47% reduction in total energy costs when switching to a geothermal heating and cooling system.

Massachusetts gets cold in the winter! Can a geothermal heat pump really keep my home warm?

Absolutely. Geothermal heat pumps rely on the constant 55 degrees temperature found inside the ground year round. This means they are unaffected by outside air temperature and are extremely effective on the coldest winter days.

What is the environmental benefit of switching to geothermal?

According to the Energy Information Administration, a geothermal is the most sustainable, environmentally friendly way to heat & cool your home. It can reduce a home’s CO2 emissions by up to 80%. Over the 25+ year lifespan of the system, that’s equivalent to removing 39 cars from the road for an entire year.
