  4. Recent project example • $20,800 for geothermal • $13,900 for conventional (gas, cent. air) • $12,300 for high efficiency ASHP • Net incremental cost of geothermal after federal tax credit - $60 compared to conventional system, $16,600 compared to ASHP system. • Annual energy costs of geo were less than half - $800 vs. $2,200.
