Residential geothermal contractors have relied on tax credits since 2005, but the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act will end the 30% credit in 2025. A previous credit removal in 2016 caused a 45% sales drop, leading to pessimism for 2026. However, demand for geothermal remains strong.

Geothermal technology could become an important tool for reducing data center energy use, but HVAC contractors need more than enthusiasm to take advantage of this opportunity. 

Wastewater heat recovery and thermal energy networks are starting to push HVAC work outside the building and into district-scale systems 

As Northern Virginia’s data center boom strains power, water, and infrastructure, industry leaders are turning to district energy to transform waste heat into a scalable, low-carbon resource.

The hot gas reheat option allows the Tranquility SB water-source heat pump to effectively manage latent loads without overcooling occupied spaces, making it ideal for schools, healthcare facilities, multifamily buildings, and other humidity-sensitive environments, a ClimateMaster press release said.

A new project will explore the potential for geothermal power in the U.S., which could change the landscape for the HVAC industry. 

Those in the geothermal business see plenty of opportunity, but say the expiration of a tax credit for residential projects is a setback.  

For environments that demand quiet comfort, the Tranquility SL includes an UltraQuiet sound-attenuation package, double isolation compressor mounting and an integrated sound attenuator box.

WaterFurnace focused on accelerating geothermal adoption by emphasizing grid resiliency and affordability.

Residential credits are set to sunset, but commercial geothermal continues to gain momentum thanks to not-yet-expiring tax incentives, innovation, and maturing tech. For HVACR contractors, the next wave of geothermal growth hinges on training and design expertise.
