Maryland Homeowners: Get Paid for Your Geothermal System

If you heat and cool your home with geothermal energy, you may be sitting on a benefit you didn’t even know existed.

Thousands of Maryland homeowners are already earning money each year through Geothermal Renewable Energy Credits (GRECs) — a state-backed program that rewards clean, renewable energy. The best part? If your geothermal system was installed anytime since 2007, you are eligible (with proper documentation).

 Here’s how it works:

• Geothermal systems installed between 2007 and 2022 earn Maryland homeowners about $1,000 per year on average

• Systems installed starting in 2023 earn closer to $3,000 per year on average

• The GREC program runs for 20 years from the month your system was installed

Over time, many homeowners find that the total value of GRECs actually exceeds the federal tax credit they received when they first installed their geothermal system. It’s a long-term benefit designed to reward you for choosing clean energy.

Despite this, only a small fraction of eligible homeowners are currently participating — often simply because they haven’t heard about the program or don’t know how to enroll.

That’s where ClearPath Renewables comes in.

We personally connect with every homeowner who enrolls, ensuring each application is carefully prepared and submitted to the State of Maryland to maximize the number of GRECs earned.
