MAKING GEOTHERMAL MORE AFFORDABLE

Are the upfront costs of installing a geothermal heat pump keeping you from switching your home or business to this energy-efficient heating and cooling system? Carroll White REMC’s new Looped In program is here to help you!

Carroll White REMC will pay to have a member’s loop system installed. The REMC will own the loop portion and will add a small rider to your monthly bill for your use of the loop.

The process:

  • Call our energy advisor, Joe Spear, at 800-844-7161 to set up a home visit.
  • After consulting with Spear, you will select a licensed contractor to install the geothermal system and sign the necessary agreements and paperwork so work on the project can begin.
  • Carroll White REMC will select a contractor for the loop installation.
  • Post construction, Carroll White REMC will ensure all the work was done as expected and will finalize all rebates. A copy of the geothermal installation invoice from the member’s approved contractor will be required.
  • Our billing department will then add the monthly lease fee to your electric bill.
